Contemplative Collage with the Red Shoes

The mandala is an ancient visual expression of wholeness and healing found all over the world, and often used in meditation practices. The contemplative practice of creating and visualizing mandalas is considered a powerful tool for re-centering and re-connecting with the divine. This class, hosted by the Red Shoes and facilitated by collage enthusiast and teacher, Pam Arnold, will use collaged papers to create the repeating colors and patterns in a mandala. Each participant takes home a personalized mandala to start her (or his) own contemplative practice or simply for admiration's sake. 10:30 am–noon at 2303 Government Street. Materials provided. $15.
