I chose the purple hues to represent calm and majesty. The green hues represent life, growth, movement and commitment to goals.

In seeking mandala workshops in the Los Angeles area, I was surprised that there were practically no workshops being offered. Since I have led such workshops and I'm seeking new paths for personal growth, I have begun the process of designing a new workshop model and will be making myself available to lead healing and self-discovery workshops based on mandala creation.<br /><br />I look forward to your comments and participation.<br /><br />Namaste<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/681011815784393253-3515878158906602582?l=mandalaworkshop.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Jon Bassinger-Floreshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06466528424164767239noreply@blogger.com0
