Plant your seeds with creativity and meditation: make your own miniature garden basket and connect with your root chakra to nurture your dreams. Free workshop for international women. Life is a garden, a canvas where you can create the imaginable. This workshop invites you to plant your ideas and dreams like seeds into fertile soil, nurturing your goals and passions. We'll start by grounding ourselves through meditation, reconnecting with nature and the foundational energy of the root chakra. Through artistic expression, you'll craft a vision for your life's garden, identifying what you want to achieve and transform. Writing down your priorities and focusing your energy on what matters most will guide this process. You'll prepare to welcome transformation with a newfound awareness. In a creative, hands-on activity, you'll plant seeds in a miniature garden basket, decorating it with fairy and natural elements. This symbolises the nurturing of your wishes and dreams. Join us to explore the powerful connection between art, mental health and wellbeing, cultivating a vibrant, transformative garden within. This class is sponsored by Thrive Edinburgh.

Join Daniel Docherty and Sheetle Shah for this practical two-day course exploring sacred pattern and the art of henna. On the first day of the course Daniel will give an overview of the practice and philosophy of Mandalas from various traditions. Participants will be introduced to certain key characteristics and significant symbolism inherent within traditional Mandalas. We will learn how to construct some of these sacred patterns using the traditional tools of compass and straightedge. Sheetle, a henna artist with 20 years of experience with this traditional art form, will guide participants through the processes of making and preparing henna paste 'from scratch'. You will learn how to apply intricate patterns to paper, hands or feet depending on your preference! Henna is a natural pigment with remarkable staining qualities. You will learn how it is traditionally applied to hands and feet during festivals and celebrations; today, henna is also applied for ‘belly blessings’, cosmetic tattoos, semi-permanent face painting, hair dye and has developed many other creative roles.
