Rings of Petals (c) 2006

A mandala is a "sacred circle" representing the totality of all existence - both the microcosm and macrocosm. It is traditionally used in meditation to help overcome human suffering and promote planetary healing.  The sacred art and science of the mandala process is a means to transform, heal, empower, and awaken to your true-Self. My intention is to be a catalyst for positive change through the teaching and use of the mandala.

 

 
Jeweled Petals (c) 2007
  Classes are joyous and non-competitive and appropriate for all, regardless of age, artistic experience or religious affiliation.

We begin with the group taking a moment to create a sacred space and set positive intentions. As a participant, you will learn a brief history of the mandala and its use in various cultures. Through meditation, you will intuitively receive and illuminate sacred symbols for healing and self-realization. Using QiGong breathing and stretching exercises, you will develop body awareness and the ability to enhance and direct their energies toward healing and creativity. 

 
In addition to creating a variety of luminous mandalas, sessions may also include chakra healing with color, light and sound; the construction of a group sand mandala; or a burning ritual to facilitate the letting go of old, painful memories.

Benefits include learning to:

 

Create radiant mandalas that express your own Divinity

Move beyond your ego and connect with your true self

Improve your life using positive intentions

Deepen your connection to Nature’s healing energies

Open your heart to the flow of pure, unconditional love

Recognize and appreciate the gift in every moment

Transform old subconscious patterns through mindfulness techniques

(a.k.a. "Rosie")
       

I have been leading mandala classes for 18 years and taught art in public schools for over 30 years. A visionary artist and award-winning photographer, I have studied with both traditional and contemporary artists and experts, including Judith Cornell, Alex and Allyson Grey, Pieter Weltevrede, Mavis Gewant, and monks from the Gyuto-Tantric University. I hold an M.A. in Art Education from Brooklyn College and co-authored Create Your Own Sand Mandala: For Meditation, Healing and Prayer. (This book is now available in Italian, French, and German!)

I am a certified mandala facilitator and have assisted Judith Cornell, Ph.D. in her mandala facilitation training for several years, including my recent roles as co-facilitator at "Mandala: Circles for Healing" training (2008) and special guest facilitator at "Awaken Out of Suffering" training (2009). Many of my mandalas are also featured in her book, The Mandala Healing Kit.
