MANDALA WORKSHOP

SUNDAY:
TIME: 10am - 4pm
COST: $150
Materials list on enrolment.
The Mandala takes you on an inner journey, this old tradition from the Tibetan lineage which we can now utilise for ourselves as a prelude to meditation and most of all the process of painting a Mandala opens the gateway to your inner and most highest self, activating your intuition and creating compassion, love, peace and tranquility.
As you work on your Mandala you slowly integrate and become the Mandala itself the source of Oneness.
I have been under the guidance of Lama Tendar a Tibetan Lama which has deepened my understanding of Mandalas and has also inspired me to source symbols of other traditions and nationalities so the student can draw on symbols of a lineage they connect with, encompassing their ancestral background
