Description
If you're keen to explore your creativity and want to feel more at home with yourself, come along to this mandala drawing workshop and enjoy a meditative, purposeful art experience. In the ancient Sanskrit language of Hinduism and Buddhism, mandala means “circle.” Traditionally, a mandala is a geometric design or pattern that represents the cosmos or deities in various heavenly worlds. Creating a mandala is a form of ‘artistic meditation’, which involves a careful, quiet, prayerful kind of attention, helping you: - Feel more balanced and centred in yourself. - Be a bridge between your conscious and unconscious self. - Improve concentration and develop mindfulness. - Enhance your sense of awareness and perception of shapes and patterns. In this beginner-friendly drawing workshop, you'll learn how to create a mandala design using geometry, with the traditional tools of a compass, straight-edge, pencil and pen. In your journey of creating beautiful art, you extend your curiosity outwards from the centre and inwards within yourself. The process is in itself a wonderful metaphor for life's journey: how we navigate pathways and intersections, follow lines of interest, pause to step back and contemplate the whole, and trust the gradual unfolding without knowing the end result. So come join in for a surreal experience, which is fun and engaging over a cup of coffee! This workshop is held in a beautiful café, where you can purchase coffee or tea of your choice at additional cost! (Optional). So come and join me for a beautiful meditative experience!

Structure & symmetry: mandalas are often made up of repeated shapes and patterns radiating from a central point, which brings a calming, meditative quality to the process. A tool for mindfulness: creating or colouring mandalas helps quiet the mind, focus attention, and reduce stress — making it a powerful form of active meditation. A reflection of the inner self: each mandala is unique and can reflect your emotions, energy, and intention at the time of creation. Used across cultures: while rooted in ancient Hindu and Buddhist traditions, mandalas appear in various cultures — from Tibetan thangka paintings to Native American sand art.
Mandala art is a spiritual and artistic practice that involves creating geometric patterns, usually arranged in a circular form. The word "mandala" comes from Sanskrit and means “circle” — symbolising wholeness, unity, and harmony.
