Mandala Art Retreat

Join guest instructor, Vidya Shyamsundar for this three-hour in studio retreat that begins by grounding ourselves in gratitude, connecting with our breath, and setting our intentions with a meditative prayer. Next, we will gain insights into the rich history and symbolism of the centuries-old tradition of mandala art through visual storytelling. Each participant will then paint a colorful, unique 8" x 8" mandala on canvas while listening to soothing, meditative music over warm chai and cookies, which guides them into a flow state.

All supplies and materials are provided.

No art experience is required.

About Vidya

Vidya Shyamsundar paints abstract, symbolic mixed-media paintings that explore themes of spirituality and mindfulness. Inspired by her mother’s ritual of creating rice flour mandalas at sunrise, her work reflects the harmony and rhythm we seek in everyday life, our shared connections, and life’s impermanence. Through spontaneous mark-making and the layering of forms, textures, and mixed materials, she transforms inner chaos into calm, honoring the present moment with gratitude and grace.
