Art as Meditation:
A Mandala Playshop
We live in a fast paced world where there is
always too much to do. Our
mind gets very active and then our body follows by being stressed,
which can compromise our immune system.
On top of that, there is a little critic in our mind who
likes to remind us how imperfect we are.
Old stories from the past lunge into view and future
anticipations pop into our minds.
By learning to move into our observer self, we can reduce and
eliminate much of the effects of stress on our body, mind and soul.
We will spend time in movement/meditation
walking along the beach at
Kentucky
Lake
with mindfulness. We
will build a beach sculpture (if the weather is in agreement) that
will return to the lake when the it rises in the Spring.
We will nourish our creativity and make
Mandalas or Sacred Circles with black paper, colored pencils and gel
pens. We will create
Mandala Spirit Collages and you may wish to bring special items to
add to your collage, such as feathers, small stones or shells, etc.
Silence
speaks to us and we find our authentic self….
Love
and Rainbows
