Harvest Mandalas: Nature's Sacred Circles

  • Ely Center of Contemporary Art (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join us on the Fall Equinox to create a community labyrinth, embodying the essence of forest bathing through collaborative art. This living mandala, crafted from foraged materials and food waste, invites us to walk mindfully- reflecting on our connection to nature. Harvest Mandalas is more than art - it’s a think tank, café and wellness lab. Create personal mandalas from natural ingredients, contemplating the circles in nature from cells to galaxies. This Sanskrit symbol of wholeness and harmony encourages reflection on health, sustainability, and our place in nature’s cycles. Through this therapeutic process, we inspire unity and environmental awareness in ourselves and our community.
