Mandala Workshop

We are excited to invite you to our unique workshop where we will use the power of a mandala to create a collective vision board for manifesting. We will use the mandala to imagine the future we want for ourselves as well as what we would like to see happen for our friends, families and communities. We will then dream big and focus on the planet and all her inhabitants, bring in a profound vision for her future using the potency of group intention.

The word 'mandala' comes from the ancient Sanskrit meaning 'circle' or 'sacred centre' and is symbolic of the universe, represting it in its ideal form. To create a mandala is incredibly healing and signifies wholeness and a shift from suffering to joy, showing us the interconnectedness of all things.

'Manifest' uses the Lantin root word 'man' (manus) meaning 'hand' and 'fest' (festum) meaning 'festival' or 'celebration'. Thought about in this way, the word 'manifest' literally means to have a festival with your hands and in this workshop there will be plenty of arts and crafts materials for your hands to dance and create with. There will be guided meditations to help us imagine our new future realities and move into the flow state.

We look forward to consciously co-creating something quite special with you should you decided to join us!
