No protractor or compass needed. This is process art.
Just because you don't need to make a very precise, perfectly drawn mandala, doesn't mean you can't do it though! I will take you through 20 specific process oriented, unique therapeutically oriented mandalas processes, provide you with the warmups, mindfulness/breathwork and reflection processes as well, to help move you into deeper self discovery. Through this, you will in turn, be able to help others experience the activities and have the opportunity to provide them a way to explore themselves.
This is not an art therapy program and should not be used to replace therapy.
Upon completing the specialist program, you will send in 10 completed mandalas with reflections and then receive a certificate of completion that verifies your title and graduation from the program.
