Course Description

Overview

The more we open up to possibilities, revel in the simplicity of repetition, let go of expectations and be in tune of what we are making, the more centred and mindful we become!

During the 7 days mandala exploration, I will take you through a series of unique and fun mandala exercises designed to, help you unwind, experience the flow state and deepen your understanding about mindfulness. Together we are going to access a range of possibilities all unfolding within the wholesome circle, that too without any judgement and pressure.

We will keep the core of the mandala - the circle intact, but then experiment with different materials and techniques and learn about design and composition to create something self reflective and personal. Each and every prompt is packed with demonstration, insights about mindfulness and various examples to help you make the most of it.

 In this class you will:

  • Tap into your intuitive and childlike side by creating art with stickers
  • Deepen our understanding about control through the movement of paint and brush 
  • Get comfortable with letting go and appreciate the present moment by making art with natural materials
  • Do some self reflection and move into a state of mindfulness through words
  • Make space for stillness and solitude by making optical illusion pattern
  • Have fun with watercolour and ink for some low pressure creative downtime
  • Use yarn to discover the joy of creating without expectations

This is a great class to take if right now, you are looking for a new creative outlet or you are going through a creative block or you are interested in adapting mindfulness through a creative practice. No matter your skill level, you will find something valuable within the realm of the wholesome, meditative circle. So block some creative self care time in your calendars, grab your art supplies and join me in the class!
