Each class will include: - A short guided meditation to ground and center participants Instruction on the art of making mandalas - Brief background on both the traditional spiritual practices and modern uses of mandalas in meditation - Plenty of time to enter into the process of creating mandalas, moving out of our heads and into our hands, hearts and bodies, as we create - Guided reflection through journal prompts and discussion to encourage insight and deepen understanding - Sharing of an herbal tea to nourish and to offer space for community connection - Practices for taking the insights gained during the class into our daily lives Absolutely no prior experience or skill is needed for this inclusive “playshop.” Come as you are!
