'I met a remarkable lady (and she is a lady) called Beata on three month course I attended. She displayed charismatic charm and offered many anecdotes for us to enjoy during class discussion. We were all charmed by her personality. 

Later, she spoke of her delivery of mandala drawing classes. I found it fascinating and wanted to know more. As time passed I got chatting with Beata and she invited me to one of her classes. I was over the moon and accepted the invitation, secretly wanting to ask more people along as I had a good feeling about the up coming session and felt they would benefit from it.

I was presented with all the resources I needed. Beata explained the process, its significance and showed me various examples, some cultural, some religious and some spiritual types. 

I set to work on my first ever mandala. I was pleased by the progress I was making and used colour on it to complete the process. 

Beata was spot on when she read into the drawing. She exposed my feelings and emotions. It was remarkable. I felt calm throughout the drawing process and focused in the nothingness. I was so enthused, I did another one straight away, conscious of what Beata had read into the first drawing. This consciousness enabled me to heal myself in the second mandala. I was aware of needing balance.

It is simply amazing how relatively instant the initial feeling of the need for growth became visible in the mandala drawing. 

I would recommended Beata's Mandala Workshops to everyone. I have even engaged some of my students in this therapeutic art form since.  I admire the way in which it can be simple and extremely intricate. There are different opportunities for all ages and abilities within this activity'.
