Sacred Mandalas with Marie Andre
November 9 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm €75Mandala is Sanskrit for circle and in its most basic form, is a circle contained within a square and arranged into sections that are all organized around a single, central point. In Hinduism and Buddhism, the belief is that by entering the mandala and proceeding towards its centre, you are guided through the cosmic process of transforming the universe from one of suffering into one of joy and happiness. The mandala can be understood in two different ways: externally as a visual representation of the universe or internally as a guide for several practices including meditation. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of the practitioner and as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space and an aid to meditation. Marie Andre will gently guide you into relaxation and meditation as you complete the mandala template This course is 6 weeks long and costs €75 To book your place contact Miriam on 0872138222 -
Therapy: Wishing Tree Art Therapy with Emma Cullen (one–to–one)
November 10 @ 1:00 am - 5:00 pmArt therapy provides a 'space apart’ where, among so many other things, we can look at your current coping skills that were effective in childhood but may no longer be serving you in adulthood; at what your repeated patterns in life might be communicating and discover what may be blocking you from reaching your full potential. It is a safe and confidential space. You don't need to be good at art at all to benefit from art therapy. You only need to be open to exploring and even playing with the materials you are drawn to and to finding your own meaning in what you create.
