New Year's Intention Setting
Illuminated Mandala

with Caterina Martinico and Patricia Waters

Sunday, January 10, 2010
9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.


at Caterina's Studio in Rincon Valley


In these challenging and exciting times, finding sanctuary and creating community is a gift. Now more than ever, we all need the balance, pleasure and joy that comes from adding beauty and meaning to life and the world through creative expression. Set the intention to give yourself some dedicated self-care by starting your New Year in a day-long meditative Mandala Retreat.

In the Illuminated Mandala process, we allow the images to emerge with depth and intention, as we celebrate the return of the light and focus on the coming year. This healing and deeply meditative art process gives us the opportunity to open to the moment and honor our intentions for ourselves and the world.

Using Prismacolor pencils on black paper, we begin our drawings with white pencil, bringing them to life by overlaying the images with a palette of rainbow colors to create jewel-like mandalas.

Cost: $90 includes materials. Sliding scale available. 6.5 Continuing Education Units available for $15. A non refundable $25 will hold your space. Directions will be sent upon registration.

Make check payable to Patricia Waters and mail to 8844 Cypress Ave., Cotati, CA 94931.

Call: (707) 795-0638 for information or e-mail: waters@sonic.net.

No art experience needed.

We hope you will consider joining us as a way to bring focus to your new year, join in community with others, establish a deeper connection with your purpose, and create luminous mandalas that mirror your true self.
