About the Event
The Truth Mandala is a powerful and healing group ritual created by deep ecologist Joanna Macy.
We gather in a circle around 3 stations representing fear, grief and anger. Each of us has the (optional) opportunity to go to the stations we are called to, and feel and express whatever we may be holding. We are witnessed and held by the community, knowing that we are all feeling together whatever is expressed.
As a result, we feel released from the debilitating effects of unexpressed emotion that we constantly feel in the background — which is natural, given the many large-scale challenges of today’s world — and experience a reset, recharge, and new vitality to face life with confidence and depth.
“This ritual provides a simple, respectful, whole group structure for owning and honoring our pain for the world.”
