Slow down, breathe, and lose yourself in the meditative rhythm of dot by dot creation. In this immersive workshop, you'll use dotting tools, stencils, and vibrant acrylic paints to build stunning pointillism mandalas on striking black canvas panels — where every tiny mark of color contributes to a radiant, deeply personal whole.
Mandalas have been used for thousands of years across Hindu, Buddhist, and Indigenous traditions as sacred symbols of the universe, wholeness, and the interconnectedness of all things. The Sanskrit word mandala simply means 'circle,' yet these intricate geometric designs have served as tools for meditation, spiritual ceremony, and artistic expression across cultures from ancient India and Tibet to the Aztec sun stone and the rose windows of Gothic cathedrals. Carl Jung later introduced the mandala to Western psychology, using it as a framework for exploring the self and inner harmony.
