PART I • ENTERING THE CIRCLE – A 5-Day Mandala Intensive

When we create mandalas, we can view them as messages between the unconscious parts of ourselves (outside our awareness) and that part of ourselves we call “I.” During the first part of the Creating Mandalas Certificate Program (CMCP) you will have opportunities to explore art expression, journaling, and reflection to learn about:

• The history and psychological significance of mandalas• The meaning of color and form in mandalas• The Archetypal Stages of the Great Round of Mandala • Creating and interpreting your own mandalas for each stage

PART II • ENGAGING THE CIRCLE – Independent StudyThis part of the Creating Mandalas Certificate Program is a combination of home study and mentoring, totaling approximately 40 hours. Part II consists of two units:

• Correspondence Course based on Creating Mandalas: For Insight, Healing, and Self-Expression by Susanne Fincher

• Individual or collaborative study project of the mandala with personal mentoring by a member of our Creating Mandalas teaching team

Your Independent Study Project is an opportunity to pursue your curiosity and go deeper into your interest in mandalas. Past participants have:

• Conducted scholarly research into mandalas• Organized and facilitated a mandala-making experience• Kept a mandala journal – or created a series of

mandalas – and analyzed mandalas over time• Developed a mandala website, blog, social community,

presentation, or book

PART III • INTEGRATING THE CIRCLE A 5-Day Advanced Mandala Intensive
