Welcome to this autumn's Mandala Workshop 2! Mandala is an ancient art form that has it's roots in India. Originally created in the service of Buddhism, a mandala is an important spiritual and ritual symbol used in meditations. This workshop is different that the first Mandala workshop but still meant for beginners and no need for previous experience. The workshop is led by Familia's volunteer and mandala expert Reena Jha. Her work can be found on Facebook and Instagram under the name @reeinzpire. |
