This workshop focuses on the practice of drawing freehand mandalas. The mandala reveals a "snapshot" of our inner cosmos and allows us to find order and harmony in place of chaos. Clémence will show examples of the mandala form in art, physics and religion and explore the polarities of centre and periphery, curved and straight lines, order and chaos, through movement and then drawing. Morning and evening meditation, as transitions between waking and sleeping, will form part of this retreat while qigong, yoga will also be available to the retreatants.
No previous drawing experience is needed. Basic equipment, some colour mediums and papers will be provided. It is advised, however, to bring your favourite art medium and suitable paper (watercolour, acrylics, pencils, ink, charcoal…etc) should you be already practised in artwork.
