Healing Outreach Program
Mandala Art Healing is a form of therapeutic art that involves
drawing, writing, book study, guided visualization, and discussion,
delving deep into healing and restoring wholeness at the mental,
emotional and spiritual levels of mind. Conducting these workshops has
proven to be a highly effective in-prison rehabilitation program to provide prisoners with the tools and life skills
necessary to create enduring change.
Started in July 2007 by Vina Parmar, MBA,
Creativity Now!
the
Mandala Art Healing Program has offered weekly classes packed with
practical tools for healing, to inmates at Folsom State Prison. Working
in partnership with Folsom State Prison, these weekly classes focus on
preparing the men to become responsible and productive members of the
community.
Testimonial from participant:
I have noticed a deeper desire to care for those around me in a
new way of understanding where they are, not just what I feel. The most
prominent change I have noticed is a calmer self.
