Welcome to Mandalogy!

A Lens for Mindfulness & Self-Discovery

Mandalogy is a visionary concept designed to serve as a lens for dreamers, guiding them on a journey toward completeness, self-unity, and a deeper connection with nature.

Inspired by the sacred geometry of mandalas, Mandalogy offers a way to see life from multiple perspectives just as one looks through the lens of a camera, capturing hidden patterns and meanings within the world and the self.

PAUSE. PLAY. PRESENCE.


At its core, Mandalogy is about using nature as a mirror reflecting the depths of our subconscious, revealing the interconnectedness of all things, and encouraging introspection and transformation. It invites seekers to explore their inner landscapes and harmonize with the natural world.

“It became increasingly plain to me that the mandala is the center. It is the exponent of all paths.… I knew that in finding the mandala as an expression of the self I had attained what was for me the ultimate.”
— CARL JUNG

SOLITUDE MANDALAS

The art of MANDALOGY™ began as a photographic journey capturing the relationship of nature’s therapeutic healing properties during the Covid-19 pandemic. The impact of the global lockdown from the coronavirus has had a significant effect on our mental health during these unprecedented times. As the world became filled with darkness, fear, and panic, there was the juxtaposition of spring as we watched the trees & flowers blossom from the windows.

Mandalas are defined as a dreamer's search for completeness and self-unity. A symbol of deeper connection with the self and the universe at large.  

Each mandala was created during several outdoor excursions. I discovered the meaning of each flower after each selection and created seven solitude mandalas to provide meditative support to human nature as a form of art therapy. I hope you join me on this journey as we continue to awaken together.


Forsythia Plant: Hope & Antiviral

Forsythia brings us back to our childhood of playing outside since it's the first flowers we notice at the start of spring. Aside from bringing us hope, this amazing plant features antiviral properties.

Callery Pear Tree: Resilience & Disease Resistant

These invasive trees are inviting at the start of spring and wake us up on those crisp mornings when the trees start blooming. A symbol of resilience and disease resistant, but also quite aggressive.


Cherry Blossom Tree: Renewal 

Cherry Blossoms remind us nothing is permanent. The art of letting go, feeling renewed, and accepting life's imperfections. Unstructured, free, but strangely calm.


Bird Cherry Tree: Revival & Happiness 

Revives our day releasing it’s magical good fortune and happiness as we start a new chapter.

Dandelion Flower: Healing

Make a wish and set your intention. An antioxidant with physical & emotional healing properties that will help us release any negative energy during difficult times. 


Wild Poppy Flower: Love & Peace

May you find inner peace during the pause.


Ginkgo Tree : Longevity & Eternal Life 

Ginkgos are a living fossil that signifies survival.  A tenacious species that lived 200 millions years ago during the dinosaur age.


 
“May we be safe and protected
