In this 4-session beginner’s workshop, learn the true meaning and function of mandalas so you can make them to transform, heal, or manifest something in your life. It’s not about making the typical pretty, symmetrical mandalas as you see in many places. This highly effective and original mandala technique is called The Mazurek MethodTM, which is based on energy medicine. Mandalas made with this Method are organic looking, expressive, often irregular, and resemble those made by psychologist Carl Jung and his patients, but are not based on his work. 

First, you will take a trip around the world to see how other cultures make mandalas and why, via a PowerPoint presentation. At the same time, you will learn how to identify mandalas in Nature and in Movement. You will explore the new concepts of the “process mandala” and the “mandala effect”. Then pranic cleansing and extraction exercises will prepare you for a relaxing, Open-eyed Guided Coloring Meditation.

Next, learn about your own visual and symbolic language through special art exercises. Then, through a guided meditation and body scan, you will use your visual language to make your own original mandala from scratch. We will wrap up with sharing our mandalas and providing feedback and support to one another in a safe environment. There will be fun assignments each week based on class teachings.

Optional digital certificate available for those who complete all four sessions.

Lily Mazurek is the Founder and Director of Lily Mazurek’s Mandala Workshops in Florida. In 1996 her interest in mandalas sprang to life when she had a life-threatening and life-changing experience with breast cancer. It led to her mandala work for self-healing and, at the continual urging of friends, to create her own mandala workshops. She has been teaching her workshops for 25 years and has developed 5 levels, some of which can be taken individually, or, which can lead to teacher certification in her Mazurek MethodTM.

Ms. Mazurek’s Mandala Workshops are part of the Arts in Education Program of Broward County Public Schools, and the Broward Business for the Arts Program. She has held workshops at more than 30 organizations, schools, and universities, as well as privately, on both a national and international level. Today her workshops are mostly virtual. Her website can be found at: www.themandalamessage.com.


An experienced teacher and artist, she has held the positions of Adjunct Professor of Art at Broward College, and Adjunct Professor of Humanities at Nova Southeastern University. She has a BA in Studio Art/Art History and an MA in Arts Management. Her solid background in the arts, arts management, and spirituality includes studying art therapy with pioneer Margaret Naumberg; Dharma with the Dalai Lama; and sound and water crystal formation with Dr. Masaru Emoto.
