Healing Arts:
yantra Workshop

At the deepest level, the creative process and the healing process arise from a single source. When you are an artist, you are a healer.

-Rachel Naomi Remen, MD

Can you recall the pure joy you felt as a child, exploring the colors, shapes, and textures as you put paintbrush to paper, allowing yourself to play and delight in your own unique creative expression? By choosing to make space for this kind of playful creativity in our lives, we invoke an undeniably powerful energy to inspire, to heal, to evolve, and to transform ourselves.

Yantras are an ancient geometrical technology that have existed for thousands of years, dating back to ancient India. They are tools for meditation, healing, and self-realization. These sacred shapes are a sort of visual map for spiritual growth and each Yantra is associated with a particular Divine energy and sound vibration. Some consider Yantras to be an art form, while others understand them to be psychological transmissions of the Divine that carry the ability to activate our spiritual progress and awakening by simply meditating upon them, with eyes open. 

During our Healing Arts Yantra Workshops, we begin with a template to easily outline our chosen Yantra and then begin to trace it onto canvas. We make the process fun, accessible, and easy for everyone! As we explore the desired colors and shapes of our Yantras, we immerse ourselves in the sacred sounds of mantra. Finally, our Yantras are brought to life and activated through puja (sacred ceremony) to invoke the energy of the deity or mantra associated with the Yantra, transferring that energy into the physical artwork through chanting and meditation. 

No experience with painting is necessary to experience the transformative power of these healing arts! Participants will be supported and guided to let the spirit move through them in a completely judgment-free space while creating your very own Yantra through the process.

“One of the most centering and freeing meditations I’ve ever done! I just loved the creative freedom, artistic guidance, and chanting that led my spirit to my most Zen place. Extraordinary.” – Denise Gordon

“It was a wonderful experience sharing this process, taking the time to focus, and be open to a new perspective beyond our own. This is a joy we can all benefit from.” -Kathy Tebo

"It was a great experience slowly noticing how the yantra was emerging while focusing on it, yet time passed so fast. We didn't want it to stop." -Peter Francis

"Padme is so lovely, her voice soothing and calming. The workshop was meditative and relaxing, truly healing and magical.  And, of course, we went home with a beautiful Yantra. I loved every minute of it." -Faith Chang
