About Event:
Experience the soothing power of creativity in this modern mandala workshop, where you’ll create your own bold, colourful design using oil pastel and water colours—no art skills required!
This isn’t a traditional Buddhist mandala practice—instead, it’s a relaxed, intuitive journey that celebrates freedom, fun, and personal expression.
Let go of stress, try something refreshingly different, and walk away with a vibrant mandala that’s uniquely yours.
Step into a peaceful, creative space with this relaxing workshop where you’ll design your own mandala on canvas using the dreamy combination of oil pastels and watercolour. This experience is all about letting go, tuning into the moment, and enjoying the flow of creation. No artistic skills are needed—just an open mind.
We begin with a gentle mindfulness exercise to help you settle, then guide you through a soothing, judgement-free process where everyone creates something truly special.
All materials are provided, and you’ll leave with a vibrant, one-of-a-kind mandala that captures your creative spirit. It's simpler than you might think—and incredibly rewarding.
