Join a mandala drawing workshop and enjoy a meditative, purposeful art experience. Learn how to create a mandala design using geometry, with the traditional tools of a compass, straight-edge, pencil, and pen.

In the ancient Sanskrit language of Hinduism and Buddhism, mandala means “circle.” Traditionally, a mandala is a geometric design or pattern that represents the cosmos or deities in various heavenly worlds. Creating a mandala is a form of ‘artistic meditation’, which involves a careful, quiet, prayerful kind of attention.

In your journey of creating beautiful art, extend your curiosity outwards from the centre and inwards within yourself. The process is in itself a wonderful metaphor for life’s journey: how we navigate pathways and crossroads, follow lines of interest, pause to step back and contemplate the whole, and trust the gradual unfolding without knowing the end result.
