Today’s challenge is to undertake a mindful, creative activity, to build a Mandala.

Before you start, just take a moment to check-in with your feelings. Don’t dwell on them just notice how you feel so you can check-in again after you have finished.

What you will need:
An empty space in the garden.
Sticks
Bucket or bag

How to do it:
Collect different textures, colours or flowers from your garden.
Sort them into piles.
Create a frame for your mandala out of sticks, flour or spices. It can be concentric circles divided into sections or around a tree following the form of the roots, or along the side of a flowerbed.
You can work alone or together with other people to fill in each section of the mandala.
You can be creative in any way you like just let your mind flow through your body down into your hand.

After you have finished spend some time standing focusing on your creation. Check-in again on how you feel now. Has the creative process made you a bit calmer, more creative, energised?
