Come join us for a relaxing and creative afternoon at O’Donovan Rossa Memorial Park with artist Nicola McCarthy. In this event, you will have the opportunity to learn how to co-create a beautiful Sacred Mandala while enjoying the peaceful surroundings of the park. Using all natural materials, leaves, stones, twigs, petals, together we will grow a circle of peace. Nicola will begin the Gathering with a short introduction to the process from where she will guide us in the meditative practice. Meitheal - an Irish word meaning a collective effort for the greater good of the community.
Mandalas, Sanskrit for circle, are used across the world in many different cultures since ancient times. They are a conduit to deep inner calm. When created in nature they connect us to the gorgeous cycle of life all around.
