The Mandala Exchange is an interactive blogspot where mandala projects, resources, ideas, and knowledge can be shared. The Exchange was formed to be able to continue the mandala work presented at the 2011 AATA conference, "Communicating Through Mandalas: Exploring Traditional and Online Media with Fellow Therapists". The presenters and moderators of this site, wanted the cycle of the mandala to continue and expand through a virtual community of practitioners, artists and explorers.

With the new year comes renewal

As I approached the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012 I found myself in a place of contemplation a place of stillness unfamiliar to me. Usually, I am a go-getter, a goal setter, a dreamer, a mover...but December proved to be a month of silence, hibernation, of waiting. Both professionally and personally there was little-to-nothing I could do to "move things along". I was being told to wait, to have patience, to sit as the things around me organized themselves. Then suddenly, with the dawn of Christmas - a time we associate with birth and jubilee there was movement, excitement, rejuvination, blossoming, celebration. Things were anew and the possibilities endless...

It is with this spirit I enter the new year. In the new year I have dedicated myself to continue the burst of recycled energy I so recently experienced. One way I hope to do this is to take you- and anyone else who is willing back into the world of manadalas. I have renewed my Mandala Mission - only this time my blog is open the public cyberworld and I am inviting, family, friends, aquaintences, and you to join the Mission. I have started with a mandala of my own, but hope that this space becomes filled with mandalas from near and far.

I hope that in this new year we can learn from each other, connect to each other, hope together, dream together and experience the mandala as one. Cheers!
