From time to time I conduct "MANDALA CREATION WORKSHOPS" at the yoga/meditation center to which I belong. Here are a few of the posters for past sessions. The text for the workshops reads pretty much like this:
"The Sanskrit word "MANDALA" means circle. Mandalas are circular patterns and designs that are universally recognized symbols of the unobstructed wholeness or fulness of life. Mandalas are used to help us on our journey towards awakening to our inner peace and freedom.
We will begin this workshop with a brief meditation period and then we will work together to create a mandala on a large sheet of paper. Then we will work on individual mandalas, either coloring in pre made patterns or developing our own mandala within the confines of a circle. If anyone wishes to work only on their individual mandala, that would be fine. Participants in this workshop will explore their inner creative realms through the meditative art of mandala creation.
Mandala patterns and some markers, oil pastels, and colored pencils will be provided. Please feel free to bring any pencils, markers, etc. that you may wish to use.
Instructor: Roy Mitchell. Artistic ability is not required or expected."
