Service Description
No experience needed. Adults only - Ages 18+ Minimum of 4 participants DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS MONDAY, APRIL 10, 2026! Create Flow: Mandala Magic Mandalas are circular designs built from repeating shapes and patterns. They have been used across cultures as symbols of wholeness, harmony, and inner balance. In this signature workshop, you’ll learn the foundational techniques of mandala construction and experience how slow, deliberate mark-making can quiet the mind and open the heart. We’ll begin by establishing a simple framework for your mandala before moving into longer periods of focused drawing. As you build concentric layers of pattern, you’ll naturally slip into a state of flow, where time softens, breath deepens, and creative intuition takes over. This practice is meditative without being rigid and expressive without demanding prior experience. By the end, you’ll have created a meaningful, personal mandala that reflects your focus, inner landscape, and sense of beauty. Who Is This For? • Artists and non-artists seeking a soothing, structured creative practice • Anyone drawn to patterns, symmetry, or contemplative art • People who want to cultivate presence and inner equilibrium • Beginners who want clear guidance without pressure • Anyone looking for a restorative, meaningful springtime experience What Will I Take Home? You’ll leave with a unique 12x12 framed & matted mandala, ready to display: a visual meditation you can return to whenever you need clarity or grounding.
