Mandala Workshop


The New Years Intention Setting Mandala Workshop was a wonderful success on many levels.  We had 23 participants, who enthusiastically dove deeply  into the mandala process.
The new location we used was lovely and it was a full moon, which we all were able to watch rise over Sonoma Mountain at the end of the day.
Here are some of the mandala's with color  applied being viewed on the wall.  Once again the images are blurry but you can get a sense of the variety and splendor of them in this shot.



The day was full, satisfying and creatively nurturing for everyone who attended.   
Here are some of the earlier in the day small mandala's a black and white  one's prior to color being added.


                The illuminated glow of the white scale of light on the black, really has power.

each so unique 
        unfortunately some of the photos are not clear but it still gives a sense of their power
strength and beauty


I will show the mandala that  I began  and show its progression on a later post.  I just love having mandala to work on and spend delicious time focusing on it and my intention.  More to come.
