 Hello Mandala Friends!
Join us at our new times and our new location at Griffin’s Loft, Davie, Florida.
Other dates and times can be arranged at your home or at a location of your choice.
Both individual and group Mandala Workshops are available. In addition to the spiritually oriented Mandala Workshops, more secularly oriented workshops are also possible, for team building, for families, or as a group project working on a single Mandala such as a mural.
Workshops can also be tailored for children, adults, seniors, or the disabled. Lots of exciting opportunities are available, so feel free to inquire!
PLEASE NOTE: No art experience is necessary and all art materials are provided, along with a packet, in the workshops.
Mandalas are circular designs used for centuries by cultures all over the world for healing. Their intrinsic nature is to bring wholeness and balance to you. There are many levels to the study and making of mandalas. Our visual form is unique and tends to be more Jungian and organic rather than geometric like the Tibetan. The workshop process of making a mandala involves an introduction to mandalas, cleansing, meditation, music, and a body-centered approach to help create the images of the mandala. A debriefing and discussion wrap it up. Color and shape references for each individual student are explored.
Time: Mandala Workshops are on Saturdays from 10 am to 4:30 pm.
Dates: May 31, September 27, and December 13, 2008
Location: Griffin’s Loft, 4282 So. University Drive, Davie, FL 33328 – Phone: 954-625-6775
Other dates and times can be easily arranged upon your request. I will also travel to your location in the tri-county area (Dade-Broward-Palm Beach) if you are local to me or have a group.
Registration: If you would like to register, email me and I will send you a registration form and directions. You can then mail me a check with your registration form to reserve your space. Space is limited for each workshop, so register as early as you can.
Fee: Workshop fee is $99 per person, or $108 at the door. Advance registration is required. See above paragraph for procedure.
Please email if you have any questions! milagrolil@bellsouth.net

Retreat leader name: Connie Miller MS, TEP, LPC
Retreat leader bio: Souldrama was developed by Connie Miller, Master of Science ,MS, Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, Nationally Certified Counselor NCC, Trainer, Educator and Practitioner of Psychodrama TEP in 1997 and trademarked in 1999 as a therapeutic tool created for use as an adjunct to psychodrama and designed to move clients from co-dependency to co-creativity. Connie is the founder of the International Institute of Souldrama and also the owner of the Spring LakeHeights Counseling Center, in New Jersey.
Few events change one's life as deeply as a sacred pilgrimage taken to recharge the spirit and return us to wholeness of mind and body.
Awaken your inner joy as you experience one of our workshops for either personal growth or training!
Similar to a pilgrimage Souldrama takes us through seven doors of spiritual transformation: each door leads us to a higher level of spiritual growth and transformation as we:
- accept the call to journey for a specific purpose;
- find the faith in our vision needed to set out;
- learn how to invoke the strength of spirit;
- learn how to allow the spirit to speak and work through us in order to persist;
- gain control over the obstacles that slow us down or cause resistance;
- learn how to connect with our spiritual intelligence and upon arrival
at the destination of our pilgrimage;
- return to our home community,bringing back the blessings obtained.
This Workshop is for personal growth or training.
What is soul? And how do we live a soulful life? People everywhere are searching for well-being: for meaning, purpose, fulfillment, health and happiness. For life to be good, we need to feel useful and appreciated.
And we long for great relationships - to love and to be loved. Behind all of these human desires is the creative impulse of soul. It moves through each of us and through the world we create. And when we can understand, love and respond to soul, we find meaning in all of our experiences - even the difficult ones. Join us in on the journey forward to self discovery....
Souldrama is a therapeutic psychospiritual group action model that leads participants through seven sequential doors of spiritual development with the goal accessing our spiritual intelligence in all areas including relationships and careers. It can help group members move past resistance to recognize and move on to their higher purpose, therefore creating spiritually intelligent leadership. Psychodramatically based, it is intended to be used as multi disciplinary training system that combines the mind, body and spirit to create a therapeutic energy within a group process to foster spontaneity and creativity. Souldrama allows the soul to become a co-creator in a person's life and this is the soul's mission to co-create!
Our Workshops are designed to:
- Transform and renew your relationships.
- Illuminate your spiritual gifts.
- Overcome the fears that prevent you from moving forward.
- Increase your self esteem.
- Discover what unique gifts, talents and skills you bring into this world.
- Discover what specific issues represent your life challenges.
- Discover what gives your life meaning and purpose.
- Create spiritually intelligent leadership.
- Develop clarity, passion and personal power.
- Identify your values, virtues, qualities and talents.
