Sacred Circles: A Night of Mandalas and Connection

Sacred Circles: A Night of Mandalas and Connection

This gathering is a gentle invitation to slow down, reconnect, and create from the heart. We’ll begin the evening by arriving together in stillness, grounding ourselves in presence and community. After a light-hearted check-in, we will do a short meditation and then flow into the meditative art of mandala drawing.

Creating mandalas in community is a deeply restorative practice — it invites us into a state of inner listening, self-expression, and wordless connection. Whether you’ve never picked up a colored pencil or are an artist at heart, this practice meets you exactly where you are. There’s no right or wrong way to create — just your breath, your presence, and the unfolding shapes and colors of your inner world.
