The CONNECTIONS Guidebook
The mandalas in this Guidebook offer actions you can take to make, understand, deepen, and repair your connections between parts of yourself and others. The initial mandala activities are for discovering and creating connections within. Later mandala activities help you connect with those in your life or around the world.
With each of the 12 Mandala Activities, you will be introduced to an aspect of CONNECTIONS, given clear directions to create a related mandala, and provided journaling prompts to make meaning and take action towards enhancing CONNECTIONS.
Keep in mind that there’s no right or wrong way to make a mandala.
Then, allow our journaling suggestions to guide your reflection about the unique personal meaning of your mandala.
20-PAGE GUIDEBOOK
As soon as you purchase your Guidebook, you'll be able to instantly download this beautifully designed, 20-page PDF that helps you make, understand, deepen, and repair your CONNECTIONS through creating mandalas.
CREATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
Your Guidebook begins with an overview of the topic of CONNECTIONS. Then, we'll share some considerations we have found helpful when getting ready to create mandalas, including choosing materials, setting up your space, musical considerations, and questions to guide you in finding meaning in your mandalas.
12 MANDALA ACTIVITIES
Each Mandala Activity includes an overview of the mandala activity topic, as well as materials options, detailed directions, reflective journaling prompts to support you in making meaning from and taking action inspired by your mandala, and a sample image of a mandala one of the CM team members created with these same directions.
When you set aside time to create a mandala, you are acting on the belief that your needs are important. All it takes is spending some of your precious time with your precious self. Rich rewards follow: relaxation, energy, brighter mood, accomplishment, satisfaction, and self-kindness.
MEET THE CREATING MANDALAS TEAM
CREATING MANDALAS is a team of experienced guides sharing the transformative qualities of mandalas. We are scholars, artists, authors, and therapists with a calling to share what we know about mandalas in order to support your personal growth: Susanne F. Fincher, author of books on mandalas, Marilyn F. Clark, professional counselor, Susan P. Johnson, expressive arts facilitator, and Paige Scheinberg, integrative art therapist.
Not at all. In fact, this is an ideal product to help guide and support you through getting started with creating mandalas.
Yes, absolutely. We believe our mandalas are a reflection of us in the moment, so mandalas can be incredibly helpful and enlightening to create and reflect upon as life is happening - and we are exploring and changing.
You will need a device to view the PDF. You may also choose to print the Guidebook.
For each mandala activity, we’ll provide suggestions for materials (i.e., drawing, painting, collage) and then it’s up to you to choose what works best for you. We provide a list of recommended and potential art materials for you to consider when creating your mandalas.
If you'd like to listen to music while you create, bring your preferred device to listen and/or download the Spotify app (free) to listen to the musical considerations provided.
No, everything you need is included in the PDF. With that said, we do highly recommend Creating Mandalas and The Mandala Workbook by Susanne Fincher, as we reference them often in our work. They are both incredible resources for creating mandalas and diving deeper into the meaning of your mandalas.
This is really up to the creator. We imagine some Mandala Activities could take around 20 minutes, while others you could spend hours on. Remember, there is no right or wrong - follow your intuition and personal needs.
We would love that! You can always connect with us on Instagram or Facebook @creatingmandalas. Or e-mail the CM team with your mandalas, as well as any thoughts or questions you may have.
