Скачать или смотреть Finding Magic through Mandala : my year of art journaling with ALIGNMENT

I was gifted some words in a heartfelt email yesterday and when I looked up the translation to English, I cried tears - "to leave is to die a little."

This is exactly how I feel when I reach the end of another solar cycle and this work finding magic in the mandala. It's a lesson found in the very work itself - a reflection of life's continued passage towards an inevitable end ... n'est-ce pas?

Mandala Magic : ALIGNMENT is a response to our human situation : a response to the mysteries, the awe, the beauty and the imperfection. A response to unfolding events beyond our control. A response to being human in these times, in this place.

Art is not what's in the art journal - art is how we respond to life - ALL of it.
Layered and complex, fluid and uncertain, there are no guarantees and yet, we persist.

We don't need to be institutionally trained, commercially successful or even adequately skilled - we just need to EXPERIENCE how it is to be alive.

In Mandala Magic : ALIGNMENT we return to an old way of being, in new ways.

Marking the festivals of each solstice + equinox, together with the four quarter days of ancient Scotland and beyond, we work magic by way of heedfulness.

Together, we connect to a slower rhythm + create meaningful art as we follow the solar cycle through story-telling, mandala-making + journaling.

Mandala Magic : ALIGNMENT is an invitation to your curious, creative and capable self to honour a natural rhythm in your creative process.

Join me to explore the symbols + rhythm of the 8-fold year in your art journal + beyond.
