A week long mandala intensive concluded the Mandala Certificate Program for a group of five women from the US and Italy. The retreat, "Integrating the Circle," offered lectures, case study presentations, and experiences creating mandalas. Each participant also reported on her independent study project, another element in the Certificate Program. Projects included conducting mandala groups and workshops with mentorship, producing a mandala coloring book/calendar and mandala greeting cards, and developing an interfaith curriculum for introducing mandalas at spiritual retreats. Another project was the development of a website with authoritative mandala information for an international audience http://www.mandalaweb.info/.
The week was a rich gathering that deepened personal connections as well as affirming a shared belief in the healing, centering, grounding, soothing, and spiritual growing that is possible through creating mandalas.
