Summer SOLSTICE: Healing Nature Mandala

Join artist Elisabeth Gerald as she guides the Mount Auburn community and all Summer SOLSTICE participants in a healing Nature Mandala made from natural objects found at the Cemetery.

Also known as Land Art or Environmental Art, Earth Art is made from organic materials found in nature like stones, branches, leaves, flowers, feathers, pinecones, etc. Creating a Nature Mandala (aka an Earth Art Mandala) is a meditative and often collaborative practice intended to connect you to the environment.

Mandalas, meaning “circle” in Sanskrit, are Buddhist devotional images that represent wholeness and are seen as a symbol for infinite connection signifying the transformation from suffering into joy. We hope that creating this Nature Mandala is a unifying and healing experience for all who participate and that it will awaken your imagination and appreciation for the natural world.

Come see the finished Nature Mandala between 6:30pm and 7:00pm at Bigelow Chapel Lawn.
