Mandala for Mental Health

In this workshop, participants will learn the mindfulness practice of creating mandalas.  

Each participant needs their own selection of materials (anything at all will do, provided you have multiples of the same or similar shape) and we will create a mandala together while we explore some of the philosophy behind this practice.

​

  You should bring materials to use for the pattern, and a sheet to lay them on.  For example, you could use a box of matches, and an a4 page.  You could use a handful of weeds or blades of grass on a sheet of newspaper.  You might even decide to do something with pasta, or paint, or yarn. Each mandala will be bespoke to the individual. There is no right or wrong way to complete this activity.

​

This workshop is suitable for all levels, and is more about taking the time to participate, than it is about the finished product.
