"Attending the Healing Mandala workshop changed my life.  As a novice artist and professional helper I was provided with an expressive technique to process painful experiences, encourage others and discover hidden strengths and resources."  R., Fall 2011 

On Saturday, May 5, 2012,  Diane Tibbitts and I facilitated the "Luminous Mandala Advanced Workshop."  We were so impressed with the deep healing that happened in the workshop as a result of the mandala drawing using meditation as a basis for the drawings.
Visit my blog to see the drawings that emerged.

The mandala images used in this blog post were generously shared by one of our fall Luminous Mandala students.  She did these drawings after the class ended.

"The Luminous Mandala Class was incredibly helpful in moving me forward with my future goals.  It helped me to accept me and my health problems and to embrace and encompass all parts of me as not good or bad, just me.  Pure acceptance.  The Luminous Mandala class helped me break through a creative block and move with it instead of just frustration and depression until the block was over."
Jennifer, Luminous Mandala Class Participant, Fall 2011
