In this workshop, we explore –

• Drawing Yantras with the sacred geometry method
• Sacred symbology of the Yantra
• Sacred Architecture and Spaces
• Grammar of the Yantra

A four session exploration on the sacred symbology of the Yantra. We draw yantras and understand the sacred geometry of these ancient and powerful symbols.  

A ‘yantra’ is a geometric design, used since ancient times for contemplation, concentration and meditation. The word means instrument or machine, and is derived from the Sanskrit ‘yam’, meaning to support, and ‘tra’, meaning expansion.

Making a Yantra can leave one feeling centred, calm and connected. This practise activates both hemispheres of the brain and is a tool for concentration and meditation practice.

No prior art experience required.
