Early Summer Activities 2009

In Sanskrit, the ancient sacred language of India, Mandala means “circle". Mandala is traditionally a geometric projection of the world, it belongs to a symbolic universe representing two aspects of life, the material one and the divine, spiritual dimension. Nowadays, Mandala can be used and lived as an artistic expression that can guide us in the search for our Being.

It helps us to reconnect ourselves with our inner centre, to take central aspects of our lives back, to bring us to the here and now, to create space for consciousness and new, positive understandings. That's why it is an amazing meditative technique, that works through the symmetric repetition of forms and colors, creating space and silence within. Geometry becomes the ground for creativity to blossom, a starting point from where everyone can discover to 'be able' and be amazed.

To attend the activities proposed it is NOT necessary to know how to draw/paint or have any artistic skills.
