3-Day Workshop:
The MandalaCreating within the Sacred Circlewith Eileen “Rosie” Roseand Dr. Mike Garger
The mandala, Sanskrit for (‘circle of essence’), has been used throughout history in various cultures as an aid to meditation, prayer and journeying within. The empowering and enlightening act of creating these mandalas will support you to heal, open your heart to unconditional love, and manifest and awaken to your Divine self. Through meditation and holding strong intentions, we will intuitively receive and illuminate sacred symbols. Using simple Chi Kung movements and principles we will develop body/mind awareness to enhance and direct our energies.
All participants, regardless of artistic ability will create a variety of luminous mandalas. This joyous, non-competitive workshop will include the creation of a communal sand mandala, a releasing burning ritual, and periods of silence. Our techniques are simple and straightforward while being deeply focused and profound. This workshop is appropriate for adults of all ages and mature teens. No artistic experience or prior knowledge of the mandala is needed.
Join us for this heart opening, empowering weekend of immersing yourself in the sacred circle. All needed supplies are included in the class price. A letter of welcome and suggestions will be sent after registration.
All of our techniques are simple, straightforward and deeply focused. This workshop is appropriate for people from all walks of life, including those in need of healing of the body, mind and spirit.

“It is a great blend of Qi Gong, meditation and discussion (personal and group) that they teach to help enable your mind to search into its vast depths to pull out sacred personal images to turn into your own beautifully colored mandala.
