Mandala Workshop
with Kathleen Kinasewich.
We will learn what a mandala is, how it shows up in our sacred circle, and how it reveals many layers of life’s issues for us.
We will use black paper, coloured pencils and later use paint pens if so desired. Students will go home with a couple of Mandalas that they created from deep within their soul.
Your instructor will provide many tools, stencils and items to trace repetitively. If you are in any way shy to art, this workshop will surprise you. Everyone can create amazing artworks when we loose our Inhibition. All art materials are provided for you.
Just bring an open heart ❤️, an open mind and a packed lunch.
