Painting Workshop: Numerology, Planets, and Yantras 2010: Numerology, Planets, & Yantras Painting Workshop: early 2010 in Santa Fe, NM. Usually offered Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday 10AM-5 PM. Break between 1 and 2 for lunch and walk in nature.
Instruction with sacred artist and astrologer Mavis Gewant.
For thousands of years tantric seers have observed the powerful influence of the planets on the human spirit. Indian astrology, has long undersood that while the energy released by the orbiting planets affects our lives, it is also an energy that can be directed and harnessed to improve our spiritual, mental, and physical well being.
The 9 planet yantras, beautiful geometric images that utilize specific colors and forms, when meditated upon, instill quietness in the mind, allowing it to positively channel the power of planets represented by each yantra. In this workshop, participants will construct and paint a yantra and will learn a mantra, containing bidj/bija sounds, which will encourage optimum receptivity to the energies of each planet.
A basic overview of Indian numerology will be covered to help students have a better understanding of the qualities of the planets and how to know the influence of the numbers and planets on one’s life.
The sacred art taught by Mavis Gewant cultivates inner silence and attunes one with the energy and essence of the divine aspect that is being evoked. No previous art experience is necessary. Focus is on inner process in an atmosphere of introspection and devotion. Under close guidance participants paint yantras learning the corresponding mantra and chanting silently as the painting process unfolds.
