MANDALAS - A JOURNEY OF ACCEPTANCE

Join me and my dear friend Helga from Montreal for the day with creative arts, meditation and the Dances of Universal Peace.   

MANDALAS - A JOURNEY OF ACCEPTANCE 

 

CREATIVE ARTS WORKSHOP WITH DANCES OF UNIVERSAL PEACE AND MEDITATION

Together, we will create communal mandalas, an ancient visual spiritual teaching tool that maps the journey of energy into the material world. Using both individual intentions of your choice and a collective one, we will create a mandala with a similar format to the one above. Using fabric crayons on paper we will illustrate this journey, and transferring it onto a banner- we will offer it to the recipient of the participants’ choice. A "mandala offering" in Tibetan Buddhism is a symbolic offering of the entire universe. Supported by theatre exercises, meditation, and the Dances of Universal Peace.

     The Dances of Universal Peace are simple, meditative, and joyous circle dances. They use sacred phrases, chants, movements, and music from the world’s wisdom traditions.
