THE ART & SOUL OF MANDALA’S
Mandala Art Day Retreat
A Sacred Journey of Self-Discovery Through Ancient Art
"You know those moments when the universe gives you a nudge? I was thinking to myself just the other day... 'I'm feeling like putting on a full day mandala art workshop.' Then the very next day, this message appeared on my phone: 'Hi Chantal, do you have any creative workshops coming up by any chance? I feel drawn to the mandalas lately and would love to create one.' So funny how the universe works so quickly to say... 'Chantal - you are on the right path with that thought... now DO something about it.'"
Ok universe, I hear you loud and clear!
And perhaps... you're hearing the same call?
"A mandala is the psychological expression of the totality of the self."
~ Carl Jung
What if your soul is calling you to remember who you truly are?
Perhaps you've been moving so fast through life that you've forgotten the whispered wisdom of your inner voice, and it's time to slow down enough to hear what it's been trying to tell you.
✧
Maybe you've been so focused on doing and achieving that you've lost touch with the profound peace that comes from simply being present with yourself in sacred creative flow.
✧
Could it be that your hands are meant to create something beautiful that reflects the unique landscape of your soul, something that only you can bring into existence through colour, breath, and intention.
✧
Just imagine if…
You could spend an entire day with your hands immersed in paint, your heart wide open to possibility, and your mind finally free from the constant chatter of everyday life - creating something that reflects the deepest parts of who you are.
You discovered that within the sacred geometry of circles and ancient symbols lies a pathway back to yourself - where each dot and brushstroke becomes a meditation, each color choice a conversation with your soul.
You left feeling so deeply nourished and centered that you carried this sense of inner peace with you for weeks to come, knowing you have both the tools and the beautiful mandala you created as reminders of this sacred connection.

✓
Authentic Creative Expression - Discover the joy of creating something uniquely yours with your own hands. Through the ancient art of mandala creation, you'll express your inner landscape in color and form, bringing something beautiful into existence that only you could create.

Deep Self-Discovery Journey - Uncover parts of yourself you didn't know were waiting to emerge. As you work with sacred geometry and intuitive color choices, you'll connect with your inner wisdom and perhaps discover insights about who you truly are beneath the everyday roles you play.
