Slow down, settle in, and experience the calming practice of creating mandalas. Often used as a form of meditation, mandala drawing encourages mindfulness, focus, and self-reflection through the simple repetition of shapes, lines, and patterns.

In this class, you’ll create small-scale mandalas using simple mark-making techniques with drawing tools such as Micron Archival Ink Pens.

A supportive non-critical approach will be the intention of the class.

Join us for an afternoon of deep transformational soul creation, hosted at The Art Base Gallery

Experience an afternoon that weaves together immersive sound healing and intuitive watercolor painting. We’ll begin with a guided sound journey, allowing the vibrations, imagery, and emotions that arise to inspire your creative process. From there, you’ll translate your experience into color and paint, moving back and forth between sound and art as each informs the other. This gentle, process-based workshop encourages presence, self-expression, and curiosity rather than creating a perfect finished piece.
