Join Samantha and learn how to paint your very own mandala! In this Mandala Mindfulness workshop, you will create a beautiful mandala which you will infuse your own intentions and blessings within it. Samantha will guide you through how to paint an energy portal and focus on setting intention as you create the base/background for your mandala. Then, allow your creative juices to flow as you draw a one of a kind mandala design! I will have my gallery on site for inspiration and for examples of different designs you can play with.We will begin with a short meditation to set our intention and get into a creative space. Then the painting shall commence! Canvas size is 12"x12" and we will be using acrylic paints for the background and paint markers for the mandala design. What is a Mandala? Mandalas have been around for centuries and are primarily used for meditative purposes. Many cultures have been known to use mandalas as a form of Soul and Universal expression. They have been seen in Buddhist traditions, Muslim architecture, Native American rituals and more. Mandala is a Sanskrit word that translates to "sacred circle". Although, mandalas are much more intricate than just a circle! They are a representation of the Universe, of the microcosm and the macrocosm, and a symbol of balance, centering, and unification.
