The word mandala comes from Sanskrit and means wheel or circle. The mandala is also perceived as a symbol of wholeness, and people of all cultures and religions are attracted to this wholeness.
constructing a mandala is meditation in motion
Mandala art is one of the most ancient forms of sacred geometry - it is a meditative and beneficial process where shapes, patterns and colors develop on the paper.
Many artists have incorporated work with mandalas into their work. But also therapists, pedagogues and teachers have taken the mandala to their hearts.
For example, acting-out children can calm down when they paint mandalas, and other educational work can continue afterwards. Making mandalas centres us, directing us to inner peace and focus.
This course has been developed by Anne Neess at the NORDLYS course centre in Denmark. She has worked with mandalas since 1994 and has developed a methodology that is easy to learn and put into practice.
You will learn the basic principles and methods of mandala art.
The course is run in Norwegian, and led by Hilde Hen.
Mandala is a fascinating form of art where creating geometric shapes and patterns become beautiful images.

Hilde Hen
course leader
I trained in mandala painting with Anne Neess at the NORDLYS course center and have been working with mandalas for a few years now. I am a qualified teacher with specialisation in Arts and Crafts and have worked as a teacher since 2000. I have had several sales exhibitions (pictures) and have held art projects for Den Kulturelle Skolesekken. I am also a writer and have taught writing courses in creative writing for many years.
I also arrange these courses throughout the country on request.
"A very good course in Mandala. Hilde kept the room and the teaching in a very wonderful way. She provided structure and space for each of us so that we could work with our individual mandalas. Hilde is educational and a very pleasant and empathetic person. I can highly recommend this course.”
"Hilde has a good approach and communication skills. She adapts the information so that everyone is involved and understands what they have to do. The participants experienced mastery and creative joy. The construction part can be challenging for some, but this can be adapted and everyone eventually got into a creative flow and calm."
