Mandalas, or circle forms, are often depicted with geometric designs that are recognized throughout time and by all cultures. These five shapes are universal: the circle, cross, spiral, triangle, and square. As archetypal symbols, each universal shape carries its own meaning.

By creating mandalas using the universal shapes as a practice, we may better understand the connection between how the meaning attributed to each shape also stands for a process of human growth and development. Referencing Angeles Arrien's The Signs of Life, we will discover our preferred universal shapes at this time in our life, and begin our own mandala practice.

No previous art experience is necessary. Please bring a sketchbook or journal and favorite pen/pencil. Art materials will be available.
