Pictured are my first three mandalas, from my workshop with Dreamshadow at Pendle Hill in September 2024. Each session was roughly two days apart. In drawing I attempted to diagram the bodymind as straightforwardly as I could, and the result is a document of a steady loosening and opening to the world.
In the first, the boundary between inside and out is neat, contours smooth and defined, the energies vivid yet orderly. In the second, the structure is relaxing somewhat. Arrows and splashes of colour represent the deepening impressions and movements, notions working their way out from the centre. By the third, the self has surrendered to the process, its movements fluid and unconcerned. The room dances, the boundary vibrates, the body shakes.
