Not an artist? Not a problem! Mandala workshops are about shapes, colours, mindfulness, and focus. If you can hold a pencil, you can draw a mandala. And if you can’t hold pencil, you can still draw a mandala. Our workshops are designed to accommodate every age, physical ability, and the full range of artistic flare.
Mandala refers to circular art, with roots in East Asian traditions. Circles are an important symbol to cultures all around the world. For thousands of years circles art depict powerful sentiments about the universe, the passing of time, divinity, nature, self-exploration, and most notably these days as love by a wedding ring. This uniting factor is part of what makes mandala art therapy widely appealing.
The typical mandala is a larger circle containing smaller circles, or at least a central focal point. From there the student let’s creativity be their guide. As they draw details within the circle students are encouraged to express their feelings through art by reflecting on how they feel in the moment, selecting a problem they wish to solve, or a recreating a celebratory memory to focus on as they draw and colour. Mindful focus provides the student with a safe space to explore feeling and open up to possibilities, next steps, new direction, confidence, or contentment, as each case may require.
