Colour

"So often taken for granted , colour is powerful and profound; and plays an integral part in everyone's life and overall well-being. Everywhere we look we see colour, nature is abundant with glorious colour to remind us of the importance of colour in our lives, colour is used in every day language, in our environment, our dress, our pomp and ceremony, our choice of colourful food and even the musical keys are linked to colour and yet we often fail to harness it's wonderful healing qualities. Colour goes beyond words and visual impact. It is a universal language to be felt with the heart" June McLeod

"Mere colour, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways" Oscar Wilde

Mandalas

Mandala The theme will be Mandalas. The word mandala in Sanskrit means circle and centre. Mandalas are used for healing and meditation, dating back to ancient times. They also provide fun coupled with transformational and beneficial ways of working with colour. Through the use of colour in the mandala, you are able to gently release pent up emotions and bring balance back into your life.

Mandalas exist naturally within nature; they can be seen in nature in flowers, tree trunks, corals, shells, labyrinths, snowflakes and the solar system also in circular ripples in water as a raindrop falls, even the human eye is a mandala, to give just a few examples.

The Tibetan Monks create the most wonderful, vibrant and intricate mandalas out of fine particles of coloured sand. These sand mandalas form part of their spiritual practices aimed to bring peace and harmony to the world.

All ages can have fun with mandalas, especially children who love colouring, and at the same time benefit from the wonderful healing effects of both the mandala and colour.

Ideas for Raising Monies for Charity

We suggest monies can be raised in two ways:-

Run a competition obtaining an entry fee from the participants wanting to create a mandala and then offering a prize for the winner of the best completed mandala from each of the 4 categories listed above.
Getting sponsorship for creating a mandala.

Ideas for Organising Colour Day

Schools and nurseries can arrange competitions for colouring in the downloaded mandala or creating a mandala as listed above from one of the four categories
Mandalas can be either created individually or by groups, depending on their size
