This immersive one-day workshop invites participants to explore creativity as a meditative practice. Centering on the mandala—a timeless symbol of wholeness and integration—we’ll begin with a brief introduction to its presence across cultures, highlighting shared motifs and symbolic meanings. Participants will then be guided through simple mindfulness and meditation practices designed to support a more intentional and centered creative process. Each person will have the chance to create their own personal mandala, using the meditative techniques to deepen their engagement and connection with the art-making process. This workshop is well-suited for anyone curious about the intersection of creativity and contemplation, artists seeking a fresh approach to their work, or individuals wishing to explore personal expression as a path to inner balance and insight. No previous experience with art or meditation is necessary.
