Description

This art workshop is connected to the mandala exhibition by Alfonso Perez Acosta at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, which reflects on alternative healing practices through a series of mandala paintings. This workshop is the first of third offered by Alfonso, each focusing on two of the six healing practices captured in his mandala paintings.

In this workshop, we'll start with an artist-led tour of the mandala exhibit in the Kelly Education Center to learn about Alfonso's two mandala paintings that connect to sound baths and meditation. Then we'll explore the healing power of sound baths and experience a guided meditation practice, led by Michelle Israel. We'll roll our sleeves up as Alfonso guides each participant in creating your very own mandala or healing circle on canvas using different drawing and painting tools. Throughout the process, you'll connect your direct experiences from the sound bath and meditation to use as inspiration for the colors, shapes, symbols and objects of your mandala. No artistic experience required!

Círculos Sanadores: Baños de Sonido y Meditación

Este taller de arte está conectado a la exposición de mandalas de Alfonso Perez Acosta en Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden que refleja prácticas alternativas de sanación mediante una serie de mandalas. Este taller es el primero de tres, ofrecido por el artista, en donde cada uno se enfoca en dos de las seis prácticas capturadas en las pinturas.

Esta clase comenzará con un tour guiado por el artista en el Kelly Education Center para aprender sobre dos pinturas de mandala de Alfonso; conectándonos con los baños de sonido y la meditación. Después, aprenderemos acerca del poder sanador de los baños de sonidos y experimentaremos una práctica de meditación guiada por Michelle Israel. Más adelante, Alfonso guiará a cada participante a crear su propio mandala o círculo sanador en un lienzo utilizando diferentes herramientas de dibujo y pintura. Durante este proceso, conectaremos nuestras experiencias personales basadas en los baños de sonido y la meditación, y las utilizaremos como inspiración de color, forma, símbolos y elementos del mandala. ¡No se necesita tener previa experiencia artística!
