Mandala Art Workshop at UniTea April 9

UniTea and Soul Circle Mandalas invites you to come and create your own Mandala on Thursday, April 9 at 6pm at UniTea Tea Room.

Loosely translated, “Mandala” means “circle,” but a mandala is far more than a simple shape. It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a model for the organizational structure of life itself – a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds.
