3 week Mandala course 14th, 21st & 28th November 2025
Art and in particular Mandala Art is a great activity to encourage mindfulness, relaxation and of course creativity.The mandala is an old ancient symbol that means ' Sacred Circle ' in Sanskrit, one of the oldest languages in what is now India.The belief is that the geometrical form speaks to something deep within every human being and drawing mandalas gives a sacred space to meet the Self and the universe.
During these workshops we will be looking into the meaning of the colours that we will be incorporating in our mandala artwork.You will have the opportunity to follow the traditional style of mandala in circles or take your inspiration from everyday objects in our surroundings and using the mandala style to create unique pieces of art.
Our art tutor Marina will guide you through every step of the mandala design process.
