“Mandala” is a Sanskrit term meaning circle. It is of Hindu origin, and is also used in other traditions, such as Buddhism, Christianity and Native American spirituality. In our workshops, we use the mandala as a meditative focus, to help us turn inward and explore the nature of human experience.

As a spiritual practice, mandala can be used to establish a sacred space and as an aid to meditation. The act of creating them can be very healing, as one taps into healing energies inherent in all of us. The Psychologist Carl Jung viewed the mandala as "a representation of the unconscious self." He personally found that painting mandalas helped him to identify emotional wounds and to move toward individuation, or wholeness, in the personality.

Mandala for Healing

In individual or group sessions, participants learn simple techniques to make unique mandalas, which open the healing energies of the body-mind. Using techniques developed by Judith Cornell, you experience the inner journey and the outward unfolding of the creative process, which consists of emanation, dissolution, absorption, and again emanation.
