MARY CAIA - MANDALA WORKSHOP
The Mandala takes you on an inner journey,
DATE: Sunday 21st January 2024
TIME: 10am - 4pm
Mary Caia has been under the guidance of Lama Tendar, a Tibetan Lama, which has deepened her understanding of Mandalas.
This old tradition from the Tibetan lineage can now be utilise for ourselves as a prelude to meditation.
The process of painting a Mandala opens the gateway to your inner and most highest self, activating your intuition and creating compassion, love, peace and tranquillity.
As you work on your Mandala you slowly integrate and become the Mandala itself the source of Oneness.
By sourcing symbols of other traditions, students can draw on symbols of a lineage they connect with, encompassing their ancestral background
