"I recently took part in a Mandala making workshop: Windows of Connection, given by Michaelene. It was an online group, and I wasn’t sure how it would work - making art at home while connecting with others on my laptop. It was all new to me - I didn’t know very much about Mandalas either, but I can tell you - it was wonderful! You can be in your own space, with your own art materials, but connected with like-minded souls who may be miles away from you. The experience was fun and creative but also led me quite quickly into a tender, and somewhat surprising, inner space.
To begin with, Michaelene led us on a guided meditation which was really lovely. She has a wonderful voice and presence which created a beautiful, safe space for the imagery to unfold. Making the mandalas felt like an extension of the meditation because the memories, ideas and connections continued to unfold as I was creating the mandala.
I will continue to explore the imagery which surfaced during Michaelene’s class, and I expect to be making more mandalas in the months and years to come. I highly recommend this workshop. " - Tessa
Healing through Mandalas Workshop
In the midst of our fast-paced and often fragmented lives, we find ourselves yearning for moments of peace, understanding, and genuine connection not only with those around us but with the deepest parts of ourselves. It's in this spirit of discovery and healing that we extend to you a heartfelt invitation to embark on a journey unlike any other—a journey into the sacred art of creating mandalas.
Mandalas: Windows to the Soul Mandalas, with their intricate designs and symmetrical beauty, have long been revered as powerful tools for meditation and self-exploration. They are not merely patterns on paper but are reflections of our inner universe, mirroring the complexities, colors, and vibrations of our souls. Engaging in the creation of mandalas offers us a unique pathway to express and explore those feelings and emotions that are often too elusive or overwhelming to articulate with words. A Sanctuary for Creation and Reflection
We warmly invite you to join us in a safe and nurturing space where authenticity and creativity can flourish. Together, we will embark on a guided journey through the history and significance of mandalas, followed by a meditative practice to center our hearts and minds. With a sense of groundedness and intention, we will then immerse ourselves in the sacred act of creating our own personal mandalas. Utilizing a variety of mediums and papers, you will be encouraged to let your intuition guide your hands, allowing your inner landscape to unfold and manifest in vivid color and form. This process is not about artistic skill but about the authenticity and truth that emerges when we give voice to our innermost selves. A Circle of Support and Sharing Following our creative explorations, there will be an opportunity to share about the journey and the insights that emerged during the creation of your mandala. This sharing is an invitation to witness and be witnessed in a space of compassion and empathy, reinforcing the understanding that, though our journeys are deeply personal, we are all connected in the collective human experience. |
