Music, Art and Meditation
Music, Art and Meditation is based on the process of the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (GIM). In this class participants will listen to music, draw, discuss and interpret the colors and shapes in mandalas. No drawing and/or musical experience is necessary. The learning experience is educational, insightful, and enjoyable!
Mandala:
:: A Sanskrit word for “sacred circle”.
:: Music and imagery and mandala drawings were intended to be used together through the Bonny
Method of Guided Imagery and Music Therapy.
:: The mandala drawing is another means to creatively interpret the music and imagery experience.
:: Art Therapist Joan Kellog developed a means to assess mandala drawings through the MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument) card method. The symbols, colors and placement in aspects of the drawing relate to the “great round” or the life cycle.
An enlightening and enjoyable means to hear and experience music with the creativity of the mandala.
The classes include modalities of music appreciation and conscious listening, guided meditation, discussion and drawing mandalas (A Sanskrit word for “sacred circle”).
Participants experience how music can be a source of self discovery and joy. No drawing or art experience is necessary. This class is for everyone who loves music!
