Hundreds of years ago, the
daisy was called “day’s eye” in England, and “the eye of the day” in Wales.
These lovely names are derived from the way this flower pays attention as it
opens its petals in the morning, turns to follow the sun’s path, and then closes
back up at night and turns towards the east in anticipation of the sun. In this
workshop, we take our cue from this humble yet wise flower, as we try to
identify our daily intentions and create a nature mandala to act as a beautiful
and practical reminder of our intentions.
This mandala workshop includes an introduction,
short introspective writing, creation of individual nature mandalas, and
meaningful discussion. Mandalas are ephemeral and will not be taken home.
Photographs are encouraged. A professionally photographed, edited, and printed
photograph and digital file may be ordered for an additional fee.
