Event Details:
- Date: Saturday, February 10, 2024
- Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM (EST)
- Location: 4801 Yellowwood Ave
During this in-person event, you will create a Mandala from natural elements to highlight specific areas of your life important for this coming year, and help clarify your intentions for 2024.
The event will begin with a sharing of what Mandalas mean to cultures throughout the world. We will then align ourselves with the more than human world through Qi Gong, then we will quietly walk the grounds of Ruscombe Mansion to gather nature items (weather permitting). Crafting our Mandalas, reflecting through journaling, and sharing will take place within the last hour.
At the conclusion, we will return our items to nature in gratitude. Feel free to bring your own journal and items from Nature, blessing the Earth with gratitude for what she gives. We will provide items such as leaves, pine cones, stones, feathers, and acorns.
Engage in a mindful practice that encourages relaxation, focus, and self-expression. The event is open to individuals of all skill levels, whether you’re a seasoned artist or a beginner looking to explore your creativity.
Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to unwind, connect with like-minded individuals, and discover the therapeutic benefits of mandala art. Reserve your spot today and embark on a journey of self-discovery through the power of Mindful Nature Mandalas 2024!
