In this 4-week series of workshops, participants will learn about the symbolism of mandalas and then will create their own.  Each session begins with a discussion of the meaning and significance of that week's mandala, a short meditation, drawing the mandala, then coloring and painting it.  The mandalas will get more complicated each week, so it is highly recommended that participants attend all four sessions.  The types of Mandalas we will explore are:April 8: Vesica PiscisApril 15: Seed of LifeApril 22: Flower of LifeApril 29: Metratron's CubeMandalas are rooted in the idea of Sacred Geometry representing the divine consciousness of our origin. It is the study of the measurements and proportions of matter and energy in relation to the principle of sustainability that creates life.  Sacred Geometry is a branch of geometry that explores the inherent order and harmony found in the natural world, religious symbols, and various forms of art and architecture. It has roots in ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, and Mesopotamia, where it played a significant role in religious and philosophical practices. Presenter: Déborah Arévalo, a Mandala Artist from Venezuela, and Art Therapist specializing in mandalas.  Déborah graduated from BINDUICAT Institute of Creative Arts Therapy and Siempre Gala art school.

Uke players of all skill levels are invited to come together to strum, sing, learn, teach, share, and most of all, have fun. We welcome everyone at all skill levels from the newest uke noobs to total uke stars. If you’ve never strummed or sung a note in your life, or even if you are just shy, you are welcome. We do a strum along format as well as go around the room offering the chance to lead a song to everyone.  This makes it easy to be as anonymous as you like while you’re learning (you’ll never be thrust into the spotlight when that isn’t your desire). If being in the spotlight is something you seek then it is readily available.  We play a wide variety of music including Rock, Country, Standards, 23 Skidoo, Hawaiian, some goofy fun songs and more.
