Are you curious about learning how to draw your own mindful, therapeutic mandalas? There is no need to buy mandala colouring books any longer, when you can create your own unique personalised mandalas with no templates or rulers.

Historically, Mandalas have been a teaching tool, as well as a reflective practice within many different cultures and religions throughout the centuries. Mandalas comes from a Sanskrit word that denotes ‘sacred circle’. Carl Yung (psychiatrist and psychoanalyst) also stated that mandalas signify the essence of the individual, their centre and is a part of the individuation process.

Come join us for one session, or explore deeper 6-week course where you will learn how to create your own mandalas, plus have the opportunity to devote time to your own emotional wellbeing. These classes are:

  • Meditative
  • Self-reflective
  • Self-soothing
  • Expressive
  • Aid in stress management
  • Centering and grounding
  • Fun and artistic
