Mandala Art Session
My Mandala Art provides a glimpse into who we really are, what our life story truly is, and what our soul hungers to become.
As a visual artist with a healing-intuitive gift, I offer heart-centred interactions using my artistic skills to create a mandala from my Soul's response. By exploring the mandala together, we find an entry point to a more genuine life, as our story, soul, and life's meaning unfolds.

How many of your conversations in a day are real?
My mandala art time with Betty reminded me of what authentic words are about. She felt into her experience of me and fashioned an image from that experience which reflected who I am and what I value. You might call it mirroring from inside the heart. Discussing the image she drew and painted, based on her interior impressions of me, grounded us in a rich dialogue about where my life is at the moment and where it is going. The soul is nourished by a slice of real in a time of thin, multitasking mania. Betty is a honest, solid, insightful, and inspiring original. Thank you, Betty.

“Her approach was to think of someone in particular, known or unknown, while her drawing began to take shape freely on the paper ... a kind of intuitive reading that she did on the person”
In Jungian psychology the mandala is a symbol of the self. So the mandala is always kind of giving you a map of where you're at. You can draw your mandala or if you are particularly insightful person, you can draw a mandala for someone else, which is what Betty does. There's an oracular quality to her work which I found really cool and we had a long conversation about the picture afterwards and she had incredible insights into my psyche... I felt that I was in good hands so I was totally safe but it was pretty uncanny at times what she was coming out with. It was almost like getting a reading from a really talented fortune teller.

Do I have the emotional experience of my soul’s path, which will keep me as an individual from dissolving in the crowd?
Frequently Asked Questions
Do we need to meet prior the creation of a mandala?
No. All I need is your name or the name of the person you are gifting a mandala to in order to create one. In fact, the least I know the better.
Could I get a mandala done even if we don’t speak the same language?
Yes. As long as we can communicate during the session in Spanish or English - the two languages I speak fluently.
How long does the session last?
The session last around 1hr or 1.5 hrs max.
How does your process of creating a mandala work?
In a process that combines meditation, image and word, I draw and write what I perceive during the 3 hours it takes me to create a mandala. Feelings, sensations, thoughts, emotions and intuitions are constantly involved during the process, bringing to light what could help you in the present moment for your continued development and growth. Conscious and unconscious working together, resulting in a mandala that reflects the totality of who you are, from a deeper perspective than that of ego consciousness.
Can I keep the notes from my session?
Yes. You will take your mandala home to continue working and meditating on it as many times as you wish, along with the notes taken during the creation process.
Why is important to create a mandala or to have one done?
In the Mandala Art Session we work with the mandala as an entry point to the inner world – the unconscious – and gain insight into what that other side looks like. Learning to establish a dialogue with the soul while exploring the patterns and dynamics within us, helps us become more aware of what and who we are as individuals and the role we play in the world. The mandala helps us to gather the many aspects of ourselves as our story unfolds. Exploring the symbolic language of the soul while cultivating our ability to create helps us become aware of instincts, emotions and feelings, which are essential for psychological and spiritual growth. In my experience, the development of the soul is part of our human heritage and our responsibility to the world, and the next step in the evolution of consciousness.
When did you begin to create mandalas?
Over twenty years ago, while in Venezuela undergoing analysis with a remarkable psychologist and Jungian analyst, I was introduced to mandalas, active imagination, and dream work from a Jungian perspective. Mandalas manifested spontaneously as I was given the space to express my creativity and connect with my inner world while healing, helping me not only recognize and embrace my natural gift, but also introduce me to the legacy of Carl Jung’s work. That was the beginning of my commitment and dedication to the soul, my psychological and spiritual development, and to classical Jungian psychology.
