July 8-August 19, 2010
$150 fee, CEUs: 14
Be guided through relaxation and creative exercises, allowing spontaneous imagery to come forth as you begin your own unique creative act of mandala-making. Mandalas have been used for centuries in spiritual traditions around the world as a focus for meditation, healing and creative self-expression. In this workshop, we will reference The Archetypal Stages of the Great Round of Mandala as developed by Joan Kellogg (Mandala: the Path of Beauty, 1984) as a source and structure for self-actualization. Using art-making exercises and materials relevant to the Archetypal Stages, we will bring forth mandalas as symbolic reflections of our own personal development in the Great Round - the cyclical pattern of wholeness.
The ability to use art in a contemplative manner and as a tool for increasing self-expression and insight will be emphasized. No previous art experience is necessary and some art supplies will be available. There is no need to read the book, handouts will be provided as needed.
*This Workshop is divided into two parts to accommodate all 12 Archetypal Stages of the Great Round Mandala, which includes the following designations for its cyclical pattern of personal growth: Void, Bliss, Labyrinth, Beginning, Target, Dragon Fight, Squaring the Circle, Functioning Ego, Crystallization, Gates of Death, Fragmentation, and Transcendent Ecstasy.
