“Mandala,” Sanskrit for “circle,” is a spiritual and ritual symbol representing the universe in Indian religions. This session will be an experiential, hands-on activity, where you will map your own personal mikvah mandala following a short teaching of the meaning of mikvah according to Jewish tradition, in its physical and metaphysical meanings. In his pioneering exploration of the subconscious through his own art making, Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung observed the circle motif appearing spontaneously, reflecting his inner state at that moment. An array of art materials will be used to create a mapping of your very own personal definition of a mikvah mandala.
