Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means “circle”. It embodies “synergy” in which the unity of various components co-create a combined effect greater than the sum of the individual parts.

Stronger together, we shall call down the first New Moon of 2012. Together, and bearing witness for one another with hearts open, we shall tend to the seeds of intention planted in the fertile darkness of Winter Solstice. We are so excited to journey with you into the light of 2012! A new Era!
We will create ritual in safe and sacred space, journey with purpose, and together, create a soul collage which speaks to each one within the collective whole. All women of all ages are welcome.
Mandala Soul Collage Between now and then, we encourage you to gather images (1-5) that speak to the prayers and intentions you may already be, or wish to work with as you write the life story you are calling in. What is your mythos, the living legend that you are, or wish to embody? In circle we shall speak to the images with sacred intent to bring our new year intentions into form. The result will be a most wonderful collage, a story of our ‘womansoul’ and an amazing, one of a kind piece of art that you will be able to print if you choose.
Advanced registration required: Please contact Shanti at Shanti@EnergizeShanti.com There will only be space for 25 women at this Moon Mandala.

New Moon Flower Essence Circle
with Satya and Shanti
Wednesday, October 26th at 7 pm at Prajna
Combining the limitless potential of new moon energy with the powerful healing vibrations of flower and gem essences creates a potent space to set intentions and receive support for their manifestation. This creative experience is extra potent in a sacred circle of women as we hold the space for one another, building a powerful field of support and community.
Shanti will open the circle and set the field, welcoming divine support and sacred space. Satya will then guide the group in setting the intention for their personal essence formula. Once completed, Satya will create each person’s individual essence one at a time, by muscle testing over 90 essences to create the perfect blend, based on one’s intention. As each essence is created, the group holds sacred space for the individual, building a supportive and loving field for all. Once the essence creations are completed, the group takes their essences all at once, while allowing some meditative time to let the experience settle in. The energy created through this process will certainly lift your spirits to new heights!
