Entering the Circle

I spent the last 9 days in an intensive workshop on mandalas through CreatingMandalas.com. This is a different workshop, it's not about HOW to draw mandalas, but yet how to understand what they call "the Great Round", a cycle representing the 12 stages that can be applied to life or any growth situation.

In this intensive workshop lasting over 20 hours of workshops, we created mandalas using our own intuition and creativity to represent each one of the different stages. These are some of the mandalas I created, each one in short bursts of 20 minutes each.

When these mandalas are placed in the round, they form the 12 stages. The center mandala is the first one I created.

Below you can find a close-up of my 4 favorites ones, corresponding to stages 6, 7, 8 and 11.

A very cool workshop, very good opportunity for self-evaluation and healing, especially during crazy times like these. Please feel free to share or pin these images if you like.
