Recently, our psychologists and art therapists had a unique opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skills through a series of workshops titled “Fundamentals of Mandalas Creation”. This potent tool for emotional balance is actively utilized by our specialists.

A mandala, symbolizing the universe, is designed to help discover inner peace and confidence. Weaving it not only improves fine motor skills and creativity but also guides us toward self-discovery and self-expression, encouraging a heart-centered approach.

As our therapists honed their mandala weaving skills together, they not only bolstered team spirit but also replenished resources for future work. Residents of our centers have experienced this enchantment during group sessions creating mandalas. Both Save Ukraine’s art therapists and our residents have expressed considerable relief, newfound strength, and positive energy derived from this process.

Art therapy proves to be an excellent tool for trauma work with its myriad forms and expressions. Mandala weaving, in essence, is more than a technique; it’s a journey toward inner harmony and healing.

Together, we continue to explore new paths of healing and self-expression for Ukrainians, broadening the horizons of art therapy.
