This workshop is designed to help participants unlock personal insights, release stagnant energy, and deepen their connection to their true selves, all while exploring the fun, hands-on, playful process of mandala creation. Using watercolors, markers, colored pencils, and mixed media, participants will explore the philosophy and art of various mandala traditions, including chakra symbolism, Buddhist mandala practices, and more. 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 - Practices for taking the insights gained during the class into our daily lives This class is appropriate for students new to mandalas, art, and/or meditation! It is also designed so that students who have taken previously sessions, can continue with the practice. Come as you are! All supplies are provided. Dates: 4 Wednesdays, 1/15 to 2/5/25 Times: 11am to 12:30pm Location: Shaarei Tikvah Fee: $180 (includes all supplies)
