Creative Mandalas are a unique combination of collage, using circular mandala shapes, over 100 symbols designed by me, photos, quotes and other elements that are significant to the participants.
Every piece is different and meaningful to the artist. From first glance, they are original symbolic pieces of art, but for their creator, they are often telling a story behind one’s life chapter. Creative Mandalas help to heal, let go and move forward.
Workshop participants can expect to find the creative process relaxing and therapeutic.
ABOUT CREATIVE MANDALA™ METHOD
Every Artwork Tells a Story
Step 1: Reflection
Each workshop starts with an introduction and short guided meditation. Working on Creative Mandalas is a contemplative process. Participants can come with an intention to grasp, embrace or release a life event or chapter. If nothing comes to your mind, you will enjoy the process by working intuitively.
Step 2: Preparation
Each participant receives a set of 100 printed symbols and a booklet with the meaning of each one of them. Some creators bring photographs, personal notes or even old letters. There is no right or wrong. Participants receive an A3 sheet of paper with specially prepared thin mandala shaped frame to help you start. Art materials are provided and shared between the group.
Step 3: Creation
Creating the artwork is a contemplative and intuitive process. We provide a safe place to unwind, relax and go within. Please feel free to share the process and finished artwork using the hashtag: #mycreativemandala

Testimonials
“Dominika worked alongside Amber Women’s Refuge to offer creative mandala sessions to women in the local community. The aim of the group sessions was to raise awareness of Domestic Violence and supports on offer including information on Healthy Relationships, all whilst offering the participants the opportunity to create their own creative mandala piece. Dominika’s creativity, passion and ability to engage with people around sensitive issues was exceptional and she portrayed a strong ability to support others to explore their creative side all whilst building great relationships. Dominika was a pleasure to work with. I am thrilled that we got the opportunity to work together.”
