MANDALAS & MEDiTATiON DRAWiNG WORKSHOP

SUNDAY 28th AUGUST 1.00PM - 4.00PM

75 Australian dollars
The Pencil Case Art Studio

Service Description

The word “mandala” comes from the ancient Indian language, Sanskrit and means “circle”. First appearing in Buddhist art, mandala designs have since been created by various cultures and religions since ancient times. Many consider the creation of a mandala to be a representation of a spiritual journey, beginning from the outer circle to the inner core. Renowned psychologist Carl Jung believed this manner of drawing encourages a “profound re-balancing process.” In this 3-hour drawing workshop, we will be joined by one of my oldest friends, Jacqui, who is a qualified yoga instructor, meditation guru and all-round amazing person (get it, mandalas are round!) As mandalas have a deep history connected to meditation practices, Jacqui will provide us with some sound healing music throughout, and will set us on the right track with a short, guided meditation at the commencement of the workshop. You will then learn a brief history of the mandala with me (Anne) before being guided to create your own highly personal, striking mandala design. I will discuss design concepts such as radial symmetry and colour theory to help you enhance your drawing. The patterns you create promote a sense of harmony and the work will unfold on its own. Tea, coffee and light refreshments will be served and you will leave this session with your mandala art framed and ready to display!
