Where Sand and Circles Meet

In our last posts we talked about sand, and why we love using it in art, and then different ways circles inspire us.

Love for the earth. Respect for traditions.
Our need for connection.

A family that likes to make things together.

All of these have come together to create…

The Personal Sand Mandala Kit

a way to make sand mandalas with family and friends  for a tactile, relaxing art experience and as a group art meditation

For over 25 years we helped thousands of people create memories through art in Artbeat, our walk-in studio. We observed how much people enjoy making things together when there’s no pressure to “get it right” or to have a particular outcome. We want to bring that same fun experience to a format that most adults can relate to, and can do at home.

We want everyone to experience working with sand in the ways we have, and to discover how making sand mandalas can help us relax, center ourselves, and focus on the present moment.

At the same time, we are mindful of our shared need for de-stressing in light of what we’ve all been through in the past few years (I know! We don’t want to talk about it!) and how therapeutic it can be to work with sand. We’re talking about mental health. We think giving people the opportunity to work with sand, with its soothing texture and expressive colors, will help people feel better. It’s also an opportunity to connect with others in a shared experience.

Next time, I will explain what exactly this kit is.
