Inspired by Carl Jung's teachings we will explore The Mandala in a traditional and contemplative sense, whilst exploring cross culture foundations for psychological and spiritual health.
Students will learn how to draw and understand the inherent symbolism and symmetries of Mandalas around the world under the gentle guidance of Artist and Colour Therapist Stephanie June Ellis, founder of The Art Of Process School and author of Geometherapy.
10am - 1:00pm
Mandala Meditation
Art making for the purpose of transcendence, mindfulness, and wellness.
Traditionally, the mandala is used as a meditation tool to search for the meaning of self. This often requires a study of this diagram which we may call the "personality" - the part of ourselves which bares witness to our vast invisible potential.
Creating your own personal mandala is therapeutic, symbolic & a beautiful refelction of ones own soul.
Present emotions will be represented in your mandala through the use of organically formed shapes & colour. By allowing your instinct and feelings to inspire & guide you through the process of creation, a portrait of yourself will emerge.
When you reach your destination, you will have a representation of something meaningful and personal that you can take home with you -
A snapshot of you - a brief moment in time expressed through your unique personal mandala
2pm - 5:00pm
