WHAT IS A MANDALA?
Mandala means 'centre' and 'periphery' in Sanskrit. Mandalas always have a central focal point from which elements of the image radiate. They are found in nature and in the art of all cultures - rose windows found in medieval cathedrals, Tibetan sandpainted and painted mandalas, Hindu Yantra diagrams, Navajo sand paintings, Islamic sacred geometry.
The western psychologist Jung viewed mandalas as a symbol of the self, the soul, going to the center. They can also be used as a tool for contemplating some issue or wish in one's own life.
What are the benefits of creating our own mandalas?
MANDALA PAINTING CAN:
* help calm the thoughts and emotions
* be a centreing and joyful experience
* help in healing, bringing a sense of wholeness
* be a fulfilling way of self expression
"Wonderfully calming day"
"The day was both relaxing and invigorating... I learned not to float off during meditation, and felt grounded and connected"
WHAT WILL WE BE DOING ON OUR MANDALA PAINTING DAY?
During the day we will use relaxation, meditation and guided visualisation to help us experiment with ways of creating our own healing mandalas to take home.
DO I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO DRAW AND PAINT?
No, everyone is welcome. You don't have to be able to draw or paint to come on this mandala workshop, and all materials are provided. The main aim is to express yourself rather than make a 'good' work of art.
WHO WILL BE LEADING THE MANDALA PAINTING WORKSHOP?
Zangmo Denise Alexander is a qualified art teacher and professional artist who regularly meditates and has been on an 8 week Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy Course with the University of Bangor.
Art activities have for the past 30 years been part of her own inner journey exploring psychotherapy, art therapy, and the perennial wisdom at the heart of the world's spiritual traditions, helping her to find her own personal path, which is rooted in Buddhism, yet still rejoices in the richness of all the different traditions.
She has experienced very clearly how creative activities together with mindfulness practice and methods from art therapy can lead to increased insight, creativity, healing, enjoyment of life and an increased sense of purpose and connectedness.
