Our Middle Mondaze events are providing space for mindfulness to anyone older than 13 years. This program is aimed towards Middle School students, but adults are loving it, too!

| Dots all Around |
Dictionary.com tells us that a mandala is "a geometric figure representing the universe in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism." or "a symbol in a dream, representing the dreamer's search for completeness and self-unity." Using that definition and this visual tutorial to host the program, each student began their first ever mandala.

| Personal Property |
According to the tutorial, each rock needed a dark color base, with a border. Once that layer was down, we were instructed to place a dot in the center of that base. From there, concentric dots were formed around the original dot.

| Taste the Rainbow |
Some students painted a base color on their rock before coming to class. This one looked sweet, like a burst of Skittles candies.
 |
| Soul Burst |
As each rock revealed personality traits of the artist. These dots are Flo's "Soul Burst."
 |
| Protection |
We saw themes of protection. This rock revealed an Evil Eye talisman to it's designer.
We discovered a landscape and sunset on this rock.
Freedom from constraint was revealed in this rock.
Dedication to the process shined through this rock.
And this little rock is headed to New Zealand.
Each artist left with a piece of themselves painted brightly on a chunk of sediment.
Simple processes like these help us all see the light from within and find our HAPPY place!
Stop over here in April to see how our our BuJo efforts have progressed since January.
See you soon,
Erica
