After 48 hours of brush strokes completed by Naropa faculty, students, friends, donors, and the greater community, the final incarnations of the Mandalas are here to stay. Through generous support from our community, we have reached $21,988, which will send the 2014 art therapy team to Cambodia. Through this service-learning project, we will be working with our partner organizations primarily serving women and children who have been sex-trafficked. This is an opportunity for us to share trauma-informed art therapy practices to an under-served population in Cambodia while learning about this beautiful culture. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us in turning this dream in to a reality! We appreciate each and every one of you so much.
Please take a moment to see the final Mandalas created by each team and come to the Paramita Campus at Naropa to see these gorgeous 7’X7′ paintings that are infused with layers of creative expression from all of our painters!
