Sacred Geometry and Mandala Workshop

Mandala, a Sanskrit word for circle, has been used as a tool for transformation since the beginning of time by every culture in the world. It has many purposes, for instance, healing and connecting us to Divine Energy, or our intuition, our creative self, the Source of unconditional love, our Higher Power, or whatever concept we use to describe that part of ourselves beyond knowing. When we are connected, we receive information in the form of healing symbols. Since the information is non-verbal, the mandala often gives us insights that we could get in no other way. In addition, the process is often fun and stimulates our creativity.

The creation of a mandala puts us into an altered or meditative state, which slows down time and helps us to become more mindful, more intentional, and more loving. We become channels for Divine Energy or find a deeper form of self-expression. The healing qualities of the mandala touch us on a physical, mental, emotional, and/or spiritual level. The guided meditation process often opens our hearts to unconditional love from a Source beyond ourselves not only for our healing, but also for others, and even the world.

Presenter: Jessica Romano, Visionary artist and musician Her journey has taken many alternative and holistic paths, all of which have been instrumental in gaining the wisdom she so desired, and now through her love of art and creating she is sharing her knowledge through this very inspiring and transformative mandala workshop

This GNM presentation takes a critical look at the standard theory of metastasis.

extensive studies and training of the GNM research material with Dr. Hamer himself.
