Susan Armington with Leslie Ball ǀ Window of Life: Creating a Community Mandala

Inspired by the Yamantaka sand mandala, artist Susan Armington leads a workshop to create a transient community mandala that proceeds from the outer world inward, marking each level with colorful symbols created by participants about their own lives and beliefs. The resulting patterned circle will remain on view until the end of the day, when its elements will be swept up and returned to the world for reuse. Musician Leslie Ball will provide an inspiring soundtrack to the event.

Sacred Salons are participatory experiences exploring a wide range of ideas and practices related to the nature of the sacred within a secular, multi-faith society. Visitors are invited to explore historic expressions of the divine, the spiritual, the essential, the most-beloved, and to ponder the word’s meaning to their personal lives. Gather in level 1 of the Atrium of Target Wing.
