This is the first Art Play class for 2010. Art Play classes are designed to:

- Stimulate your creative process.
- Build your creativity skills.
- Launch you in honoring your authentic self.
- Have fun making cool things.

Making Mandalas are a fun and relaxing activity to help us connect with our inner peace and magic.

"Mandala" means "circle" in Sanskrit and conveys that any center is tied to its circumference and any circumference is always determined by its center -- together they represent wholeness.

Mandalas abound in nature. The cells in our bodies are living mandalas. So are snow crystals, flowers and the iris of our eye.

Mandalas are known to all cultures throughout history. They can be very simple or extremely complex from Navajo sand paintings to ancient Tibetan religious designs. They can be found in stained glass windows in medieval cathedrals.

This New Years Mandala Art Play is being created to invite you to vision your life in 2010 through art. Through guided reflection, movement, music, color and symbolism, you will create your own "mandala." We will share the process as a friendly group, and support each to find internal space to create an individual expression. Coloring pens, pastels, paper and sample mandalas will be provided. We will then copy your mandala onto a "transfer" so that you can iron your artwork onto an item you bring (light colored clothing or fabric) to wear out into the New Years or display in your home.

I now wear a lovely mandala created during a 2009 art play circle and I enjoy its energy every day. I invite you to create your own mandala magic.
