Mandala Painting To draw or paint is an aid to healing, insight, a meditation and a pleasure for creative self expression. Its all a reflection of our true selfs. As in nature, we are surrounded by geometric forms in many disguises, you only have to look into a flower, the way a fern uncurls or the circle of time as in the seasons unfold. There is a sacred inside us and outside, its all connected in the most beautiful way. Mandalas are a guide to bring all this into our consciousness. When you have finished the mandala, just gaze at it for a few minutes being drawn to its centre. Sometimes you may notice a tingling or a sensation in your body, or new insights come to mind or a deep relaxation. Carl Jung practised the Psychological significance of mandalas and believed that there is a holistic change in the people after the sacred art experience.
Art Journaling Making Art Journals is a fun and experimental way to express yourself and it can be as off-beat as you wish! Even if you can't draw or paint, the possibilities are endless. Using mixed media such as fabric, paint, magazine cut outs, glitter,stamps and found objects, you can create life time treasures and is a skill that serves a person on their journey. This is a perfect place for creative souls to let lose and for decoding their dreams and creative ideas. A rewarding and meaningful way through to deep reaches of intuitive knowing and something you can carry with you anywhere to work on when you suddenly have an insight.
Altered Books and Mixed Media This workshop is similar to journaling, but this is where we can transform all into a beautiful piece of art. I collect old second hand childrens board books to use for this, and try to use recycled mixed media materials as much as possible. So this is a workshop where we can bring found objects and materials together to share the creative possiblities, and make art by your own rules.
Spiritual and Mystical Art I will help you create beautiful, meaningful paintings that reconnect us to our higher selves, mother earth, and father sky. These workshops include:- Vortex Art, Devas and Nature Spirits, Abstracts and lots in between. Painting these subjects can awaken in us joy, wonder, love, peace, contentment and enchantment. Even if you feel you can't paint, there is the use of colour and texture that can transform and inspire . Sometimes this can be more of a magical experience because it will by pass the intellect, the mind that judges, and harmonize the creative.
