DETAILS:

Join Kerri Zelman of Boalsburg Yoga & Wellness and Sarah Zappe of Kaleidoscope PA for a relaxing afternoon of community, healing and creative exploration! Kerri will lead a short movement and gentle yoga practice followed by Sarah leading the group in a guided drawing practice where each person will create their own individual, unique mandala.

The mandala is a spiritual and cultural symbol meaning “circle” which has been incorporated into art throughout the world. The drawing of mandalas has often been used in therapeutic settings to reduce symptoms of both physical and psychological ailments, with the potential to reduce anxiety, stress, and even physical pain. Creating mandalas can also be another tool to help guide and deepen one’s meditative practice. During the session, instruction on preparing the paper for the mandala and creating various patterns will be provided. Participants will come away with their own uniquely created mandala and knowledge of how to draw their own mandala in their future meditative practice.

After creating our mandalas we will close with a guided yoga nidra meditation (a reclined practice of deep relaxation) followed by optional lunch. Snacks and tea also provided.

We are excited to collaborate in our shared passion for healing and wellness and look forward to offering this unique experience! Space is limited so register now to ensure your spot.
