Mandala

Taught by Anvita Kulshrestha

This workshop is part of our School of Medicine series to foster wellness and creativity among health students, faculty, staff, and professionals. All Duke community members are always welcome to these workshops.

Mandalas are known to be very therapeutic in nature. The process of making a mandala is considered to be art meditation and has very calming effects. Join us for a session to unwind and relax with this therapeutic artform. You will be making ornate designs with intricate patterns that will come to life with vibrant colors. For any queries/questions about the artform, feel free to email Anvita at anvita.kulshrestha@duke.edu.
