I will be hosting a Mandala & Hoop-Making Workshop this coming Sunday the 25th of April in Baltimore City (Waverly neighborhood)- complete with tons of education & materials at your fingertips, refreshments, and the house cat, Ellsie, who rather likes herself a hoola hoop.

A hoop is an example of a mandala, or an expression of inner reality, on the levels of the individual, society, and universe at large. The process of making a hoop and/or mandala often provides a way for meditation, creative energy, and various nuggets of self awareness and growth to flow forth. Drawing from Susanne Fincher’s The Mandala Workbook: A Creative Guide for Self-Exploration, Balance, and Well-Being, and my own 5+ years of hoop-making & spinning experience, we will convene in comfort at my humble abode in Waverly to construct & decorate large, adult-size-friendly hoops with brilliant colors & bits of bling to boot, and also create a second smaller mandala craft of choice as well (i.e. drawing, journal, baby hoop, mobile, necklace etc.) all the while learning about the history and significance of hoops & mandalas throughout the world & building hooper-community to boot.

It is not too late to register for this unique DIY workshop-opp. to create a sweet hoop & relish in the magical beauty of mandalas. Sign up here, and please contact me with any questions at: noelle at HoopingPowers dot com. All materials provided with workshop investment. Locale will be emailed to you upon receipt of payment. The picture above is not my house in B’more, it was taken this past December with my friend Christine outside her house in Chile. I am looking forward to group-hoop-making Sunday night! 6pm~?> Probably wrapping up around 8 or 8:30 depending on our flow…
