Mandalas (Sanskrit for “circle”) appear to have originated in India. It is a geometric symmetrical diagram used in many spiritual traditions to create sacred space and focus for meditation and introspection. The intention of the mandala is dependent on the person creating it or who it is being created for. It helps to broaden your awareness and to connect to your authenticity and purpose in this life.
How might you incorporate a mandala into your life?
Your mandala can be used to center yourself; to send your desires and gratitude into, as well as releasing old stories and patterns; a way to connect with nature and spirit; a quiet place to access your intuition, meditate, be present, regulate your nervous system; a powerful altar for ceremonies and events; a representation of what you may be calling into your life. The intention is to deepen your relationship with self, others, nature, the universe, even an “object” (i.e. a new home or job)!

Chessa - Asheville, NC
“Dawn is a floral design enchantress! The thoughtfulness and devotion she pours into each of her creations is evident in both their complexity and creativity. Working with Dawn to create my mandala was an experience enriched with so much healing and play. She brings an authentic vibe to the design process that feels easeful. The entire experience felt so wholesome, like being a small child again playing in nature, except with an expert guide helping me create something sublime and treasured. I have returned to the mandala everyday for weeks now as a sacred place to connect with the land and the intentions I planted there. I am so grateful to Dawn for the exceptional work she did.”

“Dawn made me a mandala for my 58th birthday. She asked me what my intention for my mandala was and I told her there are 3.
I left the design to her, my only request was including carrots! She designed a 3 pointed mandala, each space held one of my 3 intentions. It was so beautiful!
A few weeks after, my first intention came true. A few more weeks went by and my 2nd intention came true! I’ve seen improvement towards my 3rd intention ever since. Receiving a mandala from Dawn was magical and meaningful.”
