A mandala is a circular design with a central point that is thought to represent the wholeness of the person who creates it. In nature, we are attracted to mandalas. Flowers and seashells, for example, can beautify our lives and bring a sense of peace. We often experience feelings of relaxation when coloring predesigned mandalas so popular in coloring books. However, the meditative aspects of creating and coloring our own mandalas have been shown to reduce anxiety and stress, and promote feelings of well being through self discovery. This tends to have a more positive impact on both physical and mental health. In this class we will explore the significance of mandalas as we create our own. We’ll discover their meditative properties as we relax, destress and learn about ourselves through the colors, symbols, and patterns we choose. The creation of mandalas provides a window to ourselves that is not only revealing, but enjoyable. In this class, we will focus on the process of self-discovery through the meaningful communication between our inner and outer worlds. All materials provided.
