Art of Mindfulness: Mixed Media Mandalas Workshop

Journey through the sacred geometry and timeless beauty of mandalas in this immersive art workshop that bridges history, nature, and hands-on creativity.

What You'll Explore: Begin by discovering the rich cultural heritage of mandalas, from Tibetan sand paintings and Hindu yantra designs to Native American medicine wheels. Learn how these circular symbols have served as tools for meditation, storytelling, and spiritual practice across diverse civilizations for thousands of years.

Next, we'll explore nature's own mandala designs - from the spiral patterns in sunflower centers and nautilus shells to the radial symmetry of snowflakes, spider webs, and flower petals. You'll gain a new appreciation for the mathematical harmony that surrounds us in the natural world.

Hands-On Creation: The heart of the workshop involves creating your own large-scale mixed media mandala (approximately 18"x18"). Working with a variety of materials including watercolors, pastels, collage papers, natural elements, metallic accents, and textural mediums, you'll design a piece that reflects your personal journey and artistic vision.

Perfect For: Artists of all skill levels, meditation practitioners, anyone interested in cultural art forms, or those seeking a mindful, therapeutic creative experience.

What's Included: All art supplies, large format paper, reference materials, and guided instruction throughout the 3-hour session.

Leave with both a deeper understanding of this ancient art form and a stunning original mandala to display in your home.
