Community Mandala in Action
The community mandala created in collaboration with attendees at the 2024 Sacred Space Conference is up for auction to fund scholarships for the 2026 Sacred Space-Between the Worlds joint conference next February.
I wrote about the construction and symbolism of the mandala before, but there is a bit more on the auction website.
The finished painting is 36” x 36” and would sell for $975. I donated the piece to the Sacred Space Foundation to auction because I wanted this piece to support my spiritual community, not only culturally, energetically, and spiritually, but also financially (MALKUTH!!!)
By the way, I will be vending at this year’s conference under the auspices of Your Magick Aunties with the fabulous Ketzirah haMa’agelet, and I’m teaching a class (really more facilitating a conversation) on the topic “Loving the Ugly to Heal the Wounded Earth,” on Friday evening, 8:45pm - 10:15pm.
The description I wrote for conversation read, “Pollution, mining, and superfund sites are not pretty. But in order to love and heal our Mother Earth fully, we have to be willing to look at and excavate these wounds so that we can spiritually, energetically, and where possible physically clean them out. We have to love our Mother – not just in her beauty and bounty, but also in her scars and her wounding. In this workshop, we will discuss how to find these wounded places close to where we live. We will explore how to interact safely with the spirits of a wounded place and craft magic and ritual to support their healing. We will also brainstorm ways to blend our magical work with physical clean-up efforts.”
I’m looking forward to seeing a bunch of you at the conference, and I would love to hear from those of you I won’t see.
Blessings from a strong and open heart,
