Inspirational Painting Workshops
each month we will use another technique to create and be creative
Akasha has many years of practice in creating and painting mandala, the use of sacred geometry makes each mandala not only beautiful but holds within the power to help us heal, create and look deeper into ourselves.
What is a Mandala?
In Sanskrit Mandala means both circle and center, implying it represents the visible world outside and the invisible world within.
A Mandala is a picture that tells a story, a tool that can guide us straight to the heart, a door, a way to get to the soul. From the surface reality a Mandala is just a painting with a center, from a soul level you have a chance to see inside yourself the vast universe that lies within. Throughout the world Mandala art is a process of self expression. You can use it for spiritual transformation or personal growth.
Many cultures and religions use the Mandala as a tool for mediation, to heal with or to connect to earth energies and the wisdom of nature.
The "circle with a center" pattern is the basic structure of creation that is reflected from the micro to the macro in the world as we know it.
Within the Milky Way galaxy is our solar system and within our solar system, is Earth. Flowers, the rings found in tree trunks and the spiraling outward and inward of a snail's shell all reflect the primal Mandala pattern. Each atom is a Mandala. An audience or "viewer" is necessary to create a Mandala. Where there is no you, there is no Mandala.
It is my pleasure to present my work to you. Just click on the mandala slide show to see more
As Mandalas have a meditation purpose, it is possible to rent my paintings.
I also channel personal Mandalas from your photo.
Soon I will be giving 5 day Mandala workshops
If you are interested, please contact me
Thanks akasha

A rocket stove mass heater or rocket mass heater, is a space heating system developed from the rocket stove, a type of efficient wood-burning stove and the masonry heater. Wood is gravity fed into a "J-shaped" combustion chamber, from where the hot gases enter a heavily insulated metal or fire-brick vertical secondary combustion chamber, the exhaust from which then passes along horizontal metal ducting embedded within a massive cob thermal store. The thermal store is large enough to retain heat for many hours and typically forms part of the structure of the building. They have proved to be popular with natural buildings and within permaculture designs; they are normally self-built and are not yet recognized by all building codes which regulate the design and construction of heating systems within buildings.
An internal vertical insulated chimney, the combustion chamber, ensures an efficient high-temperature burn and creates enough draft to push exhaust gases through the rest of the system. Flue gases are cooled to a relatively low temperature within the thermal store, approximately 50 °C (122 °F), and steam within these gases condenses into liquid releasing the associated latent heat of evaporation, which further increases the efficiency i
Looking forward meeting you
