Sacred Art - Mandalas and More

A creative journal workshop


All Yoga Teacher Trainings are a little different. Each teacher shines brightly with a passion for yoga. One of our favourite workshops coming up is part of our 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Certificate Program and an elective for our advanced yoga teacher training and yoga therapist training courses.  You do not need to be a yoga teacher or teacher in training to join us for this workshop. Beginners welcome!

We will be sharing an intimate time of meditation, diving deep into archetypal sacred geometry, inviting what is alive in us to surface and be shared with the world in a manifest way.  Sometimes it is light and angelic and sometimes it is dark and foreboding, sometime in colour and other times just an idea. We welcome it all on the path of yoga and art as a healing modality.

🦋 arrive early to get set up

🦋 meditation seated or lying down or in a chair

🦋 burning sacred incense (if everyone agrees)
