What is Mandala? - “Mandala” is a Sanskrit word for “Circle,” meaning wholeness, unity, and oneness. For thousands of years, mandalas have been used as a sacred tool for meditation, healing, transformation, and communication with the Divine in several cultures around the world. Workshop Overview: During this workshop, we will create a sacred space for deep introspection by maintaining conversational silence throughout the weekend. While focusing our attention on the core of our being, we will examine and release emotional and mental patterns that no longer serve us through the mandala making and several other activities. Workshop Activities: Guided meditation, chanting, offering gratitude, mandala making, journaling, burning emotional and mental patterns that are causing suffering, chakra balancing, and more.Kaho Koinuma’s Biography:
Mandala artist Kaho Koinuma draws directly from the heart. Her sacred mandalas are expressions of love filled with prayers for each and every being to awaken to his/her true nature. Many have found inner guidance and healing through meditating and contemplating her
mandalas.Prior to 2006, Kaho had no experience in fine art, but with a sudden inspiration from a Japanese artist and support from the universe, the mandalas started to appear as answers to her heart’s calling. Her work has been the subject of several articles, including a feature article in Hado magazine in which Kaho was interviewed by Dr. Masaru Emoto, author of the best-selling books “The Hidden Messages in Water” and “The True Power of Water.”
Since early 2007, Kaho has been exhibiting her mandalas and offering meditations, workshops and retreats in support of all beings to discover peace, love and true happiness, within the core of his/her own heart.Kaho is currently a part of the Mandala Facilitator Training and is interning with Judith Cornell, Ph.D. [Rajita Sivananda], award-winning author of MANDALA: Luminous Symbols for Healing. This silent workshop will incorporate the mandala process as created by Dr. Cornell described in The Mandala Healing Kit. Kaho will also share her personal mandala process, which comes from a transmission of Divine Love and direct experience of devotion, prayer, meditation, and self-inquiry.To learn more about Kaho’s work and view her mandalas, please visit: www.mandalasoftheheart.com
