Harmony in Bloom: Mandala Crafting & Mindful Meditation 10:30am-1:30pm

This immersive experience begins with an introduction to the traditional use and symbolism of mandalas, exploring their role in rituals and as a remedy for the soul. We will delve into themes of nature connection, impermanence, and transience, embracing the profound lessons they offer. Participants will engage in a guided meditation to center and prepare for the creation of fresh flower mandalas, designed to promote healing and transformation. As a symbolic gesture of letting go, we will sweep away our mandalas at the end, honoring the beauty of impermanence. The workshop concludes with a closing prayer, leaving you with a sense of peace and renewal. Whether you are new to mindfulness or seeking to deepen your practice, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature, your inner self, and the ephemeral beauty of the present moment.

Mindfulness through craft offers a gentle yet profound way to cultivate presence, peace, and spiritual connection especially for those who find silent meditation challenging. Engaging in creative activities provides a tangible and immersive way to anchor our attention in the present moment, as we focus on the task at hand.

Incorporating prayer and intention into our activity adds a layer of spiritual depth and meaning to the experience. As we offer silent prayers or reflections, the creative process will unfold as a form of sacred expression. By combining mindfulness, craft, prayer, and intention, you can deepen your spiritual practice and foster a sense of reverence for the interconnectedness of all things.

No experience required, in this workshop we follow the flow and anything goes.

*Please note this activity is done on the ground.

Time: 10:30am - 1:30 pm
