Finding Your Center: Using Mandalas to Renew, Refresh, and Reclaim Joy

Presenter: Mary Pleiss, Director of Education, ArtsCore Coordinator, Paine Art Center and Gardens, mpleiss@thepaine.org

One year before the pandemic hit, a group of Tibetan monks served as visiting artists at the Paine Art Center and Garden. They created an intricate sand mandala in the Conservatory. In this session, Mary shared a variety of ways you can use mandalas in your classroom and in your own creative time to develop mindfulness, focus, and a sense of joyful balance.
