If you're looking for new, fun and relaxing ways to destress then let me suggest Mandala Painting. You may be wondering, What is Mandala? We were told in class that in Sanskrit, it means a circle basically representing the Universe, it is a spiritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism.
I came upon this little treat while prancing around inside Gallery 132, an Art Store in Monument, Colorado. While admiring all the artsy items on display I discovered by the Assistant Manager, Wendy, that they offered several Art classes, one of them being Mandala Painting. I was drawn to the mandala painted canvases on display, all beautifully colorful and stimulating and it turned out she was the artist behind the magnificent pieces I was admiring.
So I decided to sign up for her upcoming class, just $40, which included all the supplies, a few glasses of wine and snacks, and the tools needed to continue this hobby if I chose to continue to take it on. I must say it was worth every penny and enjoyed the conversations I had with the other attendees in the class.
