On the last day of the Watercolor Flower Mandala class everyone brought fresh flowers and foliage and we made a big flower mandala on the floor and added our individual “seeds” to it. We made and painted seeds of ourselves to exchange with each other like gardeners do with their seeds and bulbs. These unique and special seeds of friends are for our gardens which we can plant, nurture and watch grow.
These are the seeds my husband made to be exchanged.
At the end of class everyone then exchanged the seeds they had made with each other before we dismantled the beautiful and fragrant mandala.
These are the seeds I received as an exchange for the seeds I gave.
This small group of seeds are growing into a larger group of Circles of Love and will be used for an exchange offering at this year’s annual art event “Burning Man.” They received love, light, blessings and energy from everyone in our final group circle. More on the event later!
