welcomes working with individuals who would like to deepen their knowledge of
mandalas and be guided by her during 1-3

busy reality” and give themselves an opportunity to focus on personal

trails and rest. No prior experience with mandalas, drawing or writing is necessary. Only
prerequisites: questions about yourself, a love of introspection,
willingness to go on inner adventures, curiosity about what you’ll
learn and experience, and trust that this personal retreat will be healing
and personally enriching. Monique’s

About Mandalas Workshop: Experiencing the Healing Magic of Mandalas This workshop is experiential as well as
educational and for anyone interested in mandalas.
After introducing historical, religious and cultural aspects of mandalas,
Monique will create "sacred space" and with her gentle guidance,
encourage you to use your intuition in choosing and coloring a mandala.
You will experience how mandalas affect body, mind
and spirit and why they have been used around the world as a source of
meditation, relaxation, healing and focus. Trusting your intuition, you
will be moved to draw the messages that bubble up from your unconscious into
your very own healing mandala. A simple writing
exercise that everyone can do (yes, even children) will anchor your
experience. This is a very soothing, relaxing and self-empowering workshop.
No artistic or mandala experience is necessary. Rest and Renew: A Mandala-Yoga Retreat With gentle restorative yoga poses and
Monique’s mandala expertise you will learn to
trust your body, your inner wisdom and the images or feelings they send you.
Connecting with your healing spirit, you will be moved to draw,
color and interpret your own mandala. Wear loose clothing, warm socks and bring magic markers and/or coloring pencils. Additional drawing supplies as well as all yoga props are provided. No artistic talent necessary or yoga experience necessary. Journey
