Mandalas: A Centering Practice
	June 16-17 :: Retreat Weekend
	Kathleen Grittner
	The Sanskrit word Mandala, broadly translated, means circle or sacred circle.
	Circles are found in all of nature and the cycles of life. They symbolize continuation,
	wholeness and the interconnectedness of all things.
	Mandala making is a meditative art form, a centering practice. A way to connect with
	the fundamental pattern of order, the web of life that sustains us all. It is a way to
	allow space for inner wisdom to come through and support our personal life journey.
Various approaches to creating mandalas will be introduced as well as a variety art materials; including colored
pencils, and an assortment of paints and pastels. By creating your own personal mandalas you will deepen your
experience of this centering practice and leave with ways to develop your own approach to using the mandala as a
tool for exploration, meditation and expression. No prior art experience is required.
“Everything belongs in the circle where we are all one, all connected. The circle teaches us to see the bigger picture. It is always moving and evolving.” Elena Avila

	Kathleen Grittner, proprietress of Full Circle Retreat, where surrounded by the beauty
	and energy of nature, she continues her life-long exploration of the many art forms and
	spiritual practices that inspire her. Kathleen earned a master’s degree in art therapy at
	Vermont College, in Montpelier, Vermont after studying studio arts, philosophy, literature,
	world religions and psychology at Mount Mary College, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
	For several years Kathleen designed and printed textiles that have been exhibited
	nationally and internationally.
In a relaxing environment free from judgment, competition, or the pressure of certain results, Kathleen invites
you to experience your own inherent creativity. She shares the many influences and tools that she uses to inspire
imagination to come out and play, integrating meditation, music, movement, and writing into the art forms that
she practices. Art making is approached as playful experimentation in the spirit of curiosity, a way of listening to
your own inner teacher. She is also a trained SoulCollage^®facilitator.
In 2003, Kathleen opened Full Circle Retreat to those who wish to experience the energy and joy that comes from
being in nature and creating in community.
