Full Moon Moving Meditation and Mindful Mandala Making.

Full moon energy meets mindfullness and creative expression. Come relax into a grounded moving meditation and play with colour, shape, and imagination as we create mandalas together in a fun, active, art-filled social circle.

No Yoga or art skills required, just bring your curiosity and an open mind (and a yoga mat if you have one ;).

Mandala making is a calming, creative practice that helps you unwind, focus, and reconnect with yourself. Through gentle patterns and colour, it supports relaxation, mindfulness, and emotional balance.

There are also therapeutic benefits of mandala art making...

Mandala making is a therapeutic, meditative practice that reduces stress, anxiety, and depression while promoting mindfulness, focus, and emotional healing. By engaging in this creative, repetitive, and symmetrical art form, individuals can achieve deep relaxation, enhanced self-awareness, and improved emotional regulation. 

Key Benefits of Mandala Making:

• Mental and Emotional Health: Reduces stress, lowers anxiety, and helps manage negative emotions. It serves as a tool for emotional release, helping to process grief and pain.

• Cognitive Focus and Mindfulness: The detailed, repetitive nature of creating mandalas increases concentration, promotes a state of "flow," and improves attention, particularly in individuals with ADHD.

• Self-Expression and Creativity: Acts as a creative outlet that fosters self-discovery, allowing for exploration of the subconscious.

• Psychological Harmony: Helps to create a sense of balance, unity, and wholeness, aligning with Carl Jung’s belief that it helps integrate psychological divisions.

• Physical Relaxation: Known to help lower blood pressure and relax muscles. 

  
  

Mandalas are often used in art therapy to facilitate self-reflection and personal growth, offering a way to transform chaotic emotions into a structured, peaceful, and artistic form.
