Mandalas

Mandala is a Sanskrit word for "sacred circle". Carl Jung calls mandalas “windows to the soul”. Creating images in the form of a circle can be calming, and results in an image well-suited for introspection and centering or focus.

In this workshop, you will create personal mandalas with a variety of materials including collage images, paint, glue, markers and other marking materials.

Within a group, you will create individual wedges about connection, growth and wholeness and piece them together into a community Mandala.

Wrap-up/Closing 3:00-3:30

Facilitators:  Angie Haffner, Amanda Preiner
