Creative Awakening: Movement, Meditation & Mandala
Frances Le Sueur Centre La Mielle de Morville JE3 2FN Jersey
Details
Join Theraputic Art Practitioner Kelly Eastwood and Yoga & Meditation teacher Carla Martini for a nourishing and playful workshop that blends gentle Qi Gong, Yoga Nidra and creation of your own mandala.
This experience is an invitation to rest, reconnect, and explore your creativity, even (and especially) if you don’t think of yourself as creative.
We’ll begin by grounding into the body with a gentle flow of Qi Gong-inspired movement and breathwork. These meditative movements calm the nervous system, soften tension, and help you land in the present moment, opening you up to your intuitive energy and creative flow.
From this embodied space, Carla will guide you through a deeply restorative Yoga Nidra, a form of guided meditation that moves through the body’s seven main chakras. As you journey from root to crown, you’ll explore themes like grounding, creativity, self-expression, and insight. This is where the thinking mind quiets, and your inner awareness begins to bloom.
From that place of stillness and clarity, you’ll be gently guided into a mandala art practice, led by Kelly. A mandala, meaning "circle" in Sanskrit, is an ancient symbol of unity, wholeness, and interconnectedness.
The creation of a mandala is a beautiful exercise in focus and presence. You’ll be invited to draw intuitively, without judgement or expectation, using colour, shape, and pattern as tools for reflection and personal expression. Whether your mandala is a response to a feeling, an energy centre, or simply a free-flowing design, the process itself is a meditative act of reconnection.
And if creating your own art feels like too much, no worries, we’ll also provide beautifully designed mandala colouring pages and all materials for an equally calming, creative experience.
This workshop is about process over product, rest over rush, and rediscovering your creative spirit in a safe, welcoming space.
No experience in art or meditation is needed, just come as you are.All materials, bolsters, and eye pillows are provided.
