In the ancient Sanskrit language of Hinduism and Buddhism, mandala means “circle.” Traditionally, a mandala is a geometric design or pattern that represents the cosmos or deities in various heavenly worlds. “It’s all about finding peace in the symmetry of the design and of the universe,” says artist Saudamini Madra. During our session we will meditate while creating a community sand mandala. Led by Ronit Ben-Shir, an educator who grew up in Israel and whose path as an educator began during Army service. She received a B.A. in Art History and Education from Haifa University in Israel and M.A. from Hebrew College in Newton.
