This will be a special day of mandala making and sound healing!!

~ Rene' will be playing instruments from indigenous cultures (check out his website) ~ to blend with the hands on healing and prayer offered by Angelica ...
Illuminating our Resilient Hearts, as we join in prayer and financial support for the Water Protectors!
Open to new and experienced Mandala makers ... for Life Affirming Co-Creation, Healing and Solace ... this is not about drawing ... it's about inviting our cracked open wide hearts to let the tears & passion for LIFE flow, the light stream from our hearts and our hands.
T O G E T H E R we invoke a Living Mandala (sacred circle) through Intention, Sound Healing, Energetic practices, and Light ... If you have been curious about joining me ... you will inspire & be amazed!
As an artist, teacher and a woman devoted to the precious resources of both human and this planet, I am moved to stand up for the Water and Water Protectors at Standing Rock. As awakening individuals acknowledging our interconnectivity, we can make a difference. We must make a difference. So I invite you to stand up with me -- to gather at my studio for a potent day of solace, sound healing, prayer, love and mandala making.
Through a co-created process, (receptive to ALL spiritual traditions), we will Illuminate our Resilient Hearts creating a healing circle of encouragement. We will remember our divinized human hearts -- hearts capable of living beyond reactivity and interpretation. We will become truth sayers through mandala art, beyond any need for words.
We are not separate from the infinite creative potential animating this Universe. Rather we are unique, individuated expressions of that unitive awareness... an integral part of the Love of Life Itself. What happens to one, happens to all. What happens to our Earth, happens to us all. My thoughts and words either heal or harm. When I embrace what is authentic (whether pain or joy), this elicits healing and grace. We are the meta-physicians learning to "illuminate our resilient hearts".
"The most important thing we can do now is hear within ourselves the sounds of the earth crying." - Thich Nhat Hahn

What are mandalas?
Mandala means “sacred circle” in Sanskrit. A mandala is a vehicle for Self-remembrance and healing across cultures. They are multidimensional portals, energetic templates. Even if you have never drawn before, you will discover a wealth of images within, and the means to give them form through simple, yet powerful techniques. These “sacred circles” offer an opportunity to rest in the Heart and celebrate the presence of our communal resonance
P L E A S E join us. Again, this offering is not about drawing ... it's about inviting our cracked open wide hearts to let the tears & passion for LIFE flow, the light stream from our hearts and our hands.
T O G E T H E R, we invoke a Living Mandala (sacred circle) through Intention, Sound Healing, Energetic practices, and Light ... you will be inspired & inspiring!

*Effortlessly manifest your own radiant mandala through a visionary process combining meditation, movement, ritual, sacred sound & simple drawing techniques. Prior drawing experience is not necessary, only OPEN HEARTedness! All traditions welcome.
In the intimacy of a small group you will receive and allow your own unique luminous vision to manifest on black paper with white and colored pencils. The Living Mandala Process invites you to experience and express the Circle of Light inherent in all life. Your heart’s beauty will be reflected back to you on paper and through the living mandala of our human circle, the group.
Perceive and reveal the Light inherent in all of Life!

Please see the image of our Mandalas from the Nov 20 Benefit - around the circle (altar) I have statues and symbols to honor All the Nations, Faiths, Ethnicities and Species ...
