Free Mandala Art Therapy Workshop

Learn the ancient art of Mandala this coming weekend at BPNW.  

Mandalas are found in nature and in the art of all cultures - rose windows found in medieval cathedrals, Tibetan sandpainted and painted mandalas, Hindu Yantra diagrams, Navajo sand paintings, Islamic sacred geometry.

The western psycho analyst Carl Jung viewed mandalas as a symbol of the unconscious self, and believed his paintings of mandalas enabled him to identify emotional disorders and work towards wholeness in personality.

Mandala painting can

* help calm the thoughts and emotions

* be a centering and joyful experience

* help in healing, bringing a sense of wholeness

* be a fulfilling way of self expression

During the day we will use guided visualisation and experiment with ways of creating our own healing mandalas.

Everyone is welcome. You don't have to be able to draw or paint to come on this mandala workshop, and all materials are provided. The main aim is to express yourself rather than make a 'good' work of art.

The workshop will be run by Jan Mojsa, a qualified psychotherapist and trained Mandala Art therapist.

Arrive at 10am for a 10.30am start. Light snacks and lunch will be provided.
