Sufi Event: Mandala Workshop with Lorraine Anderson

Join initiated Sufi Lorraine Anderson in crafting various geometric designs into the Sacred Geometry of a mandala in this Inayatiyya UK Healing workshop. This is a hands-on demonstration workshop with the opportunity to draw along and learn some compass and free-hand drawing techniques for creating mandalas. It is aimed at both beginners and those with experience. Enjoy sharing the meditative qualities of being in a group drawing together and experience the intimate inner qualities of mandala drawing.

“The experience of drawing a Sacred Mandala is akin to creating a container of space that offers a sense of inner peace, freeing up space for self discovery whatever intention is set - drawing in prayer, to heal, to think, to learn, to feel. The process repairs the mind and a finished piece of work, ensouled with colour, will always bring a sense of deep spiritual calm.” - Lorraine Anderson.

Please Note - you will need to bring the following tools for the workshop:

• Geometry compass.
• Pencil.
• Protractor.
• Ruler.
• Rubber/Eraser.
• White paper.
• Coloured pencils.

About Inayatiyya UK - Healing:

The Inayatiyya UK, formerly known as the Sufi Order (UK), is a Sufi lineage drawing its inspiration from the work and teachings of renowned mystic and musician Hazrat Inayat Khan, his son Pir Vilayat, and his grandson Pir Zia who is the current Head of the Order. One of the many activities of the Inayatiyya is Inayatiyya UK (Healing), which was founded in 1921 by Hazrat Inayat Khan, with the purpose to ‘awaken humanity to a greater realization of the power of the divine spirit to heal’. Since then it has been sharing the treasure of spiritual wisdom and training for healing throughout the world.

"Sufism is not a religion or a philosophy, it is neither deism nor atheism, nor is it a moral, nor a special kind of mysticism, being free from the usual religious sectarianism. If ever it could be called a religion, it would only be as a religion of love, harmony, and beauty." - Hazrat Inayat Khan
