This circle workshop is all about acknowledging and honoring the people who make up “family” in our lives, either through blood, love, or kindred spirit. Create a personal work of art that celebrates the people in your life using beautiful nature objects that capture their individual spirits to complete a beautiful whole.

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.
