One can trust that participating in this workshop will leave you feeling more connected to yourself, learning more about your own sacred design, grounded through the experience, with creative juices flowing through you and having a lot of fun doing it all!
About The Workshop:
Through dance and art we will explore how the rich symbolism of mandalas connects us to all aspects of life. Symbols, shapes and rhythms are all within us. Even if you have never thought or felt them before, dance and art are amazing tools that will help bring this sacred design out with the right care and attention. This sensitive, intuitive and playful exploration will give us the proper foundation to dive in and draw out insights about many aspects of our lives.
About The Facilitators:
Gaia and Beth are two fun wild woman who emote compassion, creativity and strength. They will create a warm and supportive ground so that we can feel comfortable to ‘let go’ and be ourselves. This is necessary as the ‘places’ we will go to may be unfamiliar at first. Dance and Art can both be intimidating as it is an outward expression. With sensitivity and experience with this as workshop leaders, both woman will help support and guide your experience in a non-judgemental environment.

Art as a Spiritual Practice
Mandala Workshops and Classes
Learn about yourself, grow and enrich your life by creating your own mandalas!
Explore how the rich symbolism of mandalas connects us to all aspects of life. Geometry is at the core of every part of this universe. By using the simplest shape - the circle - we tap into ordered, whole and unified facets of ourselves.
This workshop focuses on subject matters that Gaia explores naturally in her own artwork: nature and our connection to its elements.
During this workshop you will:
· Learn about mandalas
· Explore different aspects of life through creating mandalas
· Feel your body and listen to your heart
· Express yourself with colours, lines and shapes!
No artistic experience is necessary.
