PERSONAL MANDALA MAKING
Sunday - 16th November 2008
A Mandala represents and conveys completeness. It is found in cultures such as the Native American and ancient Tibetan Key concepts and their organic counterparts - such as Centre, Spiral and the Hermetic axiom 'As above, so below' - lead us to recognise the mandala as a representation of the combination of status and change ; and of the unity of man, nature and universe, with healing potential.

Come to recreate your place in the universal scheme

CREATIVE EXPRESSING FOR CHANGE
Whether you have a specific or general need to heal emotions and memories, today will help you move things along and let go of old baggage! Express yourself through mediums such as the sand tray, art and clay modelling to allow a flow of unconscious process and insights, to externalise rather than analyse conflicts and issues.

Creative activities help you express what is impossible to 'put another way'.
