Livingston
Library Community,
As
a symbol of the universe in its ideal form, a mandala can represent a
journey of transformation. Did you know that mandalas can also be
used in meditation? Mandalas can help the meditator envision how they
can achieve their ideal version of self. On Wednesday, August 30th at
7pm, we invite you to join us for the Art Wellness Workshop,
Exploring Our Present in Color.
In
partnership with the Caldwell University's Counseling with Art
Specialization Program, this program will work with chalk pastels as
we select colors and patterns, working within a circle, to represent
our present.
