Over the past two years, I’ve been immersed in The Mandala Method - a deep exploration of the ancient Tibetan Buddhist mandala as a living map for transformation. This work bridges the inner path of awakening with our outer experience in the world. At its heart, the Mandala Method offers a way to transform encumbered emotions (ignorance, anger, craving, jealousy, and pride) into wisdom. The practices draw on meditation, sound, art, visualisation, and the alchemy of the five elements to restore balance and clarity.
Although rooted in Tibetan Buddhist teachings, these practices are open to all: people of any background, faith, or identity. For those drawn to mindfulness, it offers a deepened, embodied approach to spiritual practice. For long-time students of Buddhism, it offers new insight and fresh pathways into familiar terrain.
I’ve recently completed my certification as a Mandala Method Facilitator, and as part of this journey, I’m entering the Practicum phase - a period of guided facilitation where I’ll be working one-on-one with two individuals over the course of at least three sessions each.
As a Practicum participant, you’ll be invited to experience the Mandala Method firsthand through guided practices, reflection, and dialogue. Your role is simply to show up with curiosity, engage in the process, and offer feedback to support my continued growth as a facilitator.
Developed by my teacher Lama Tsultrim Allione, the Mandala Method is a contemplative framework that weaves together meditation, mindfulness, visualization, and creative expression to help us return to wholeness, to the innate wisdom that’s always been there.
Our sessions may include:
Exploring the Five Families — understanding the mandala’s five energetic patterns and where certain emotions and habits take root.
Life Review Practices — guided meditations that trace the story of our emotional landscapes.
Meditations with the Mandala — working with the Mandala of the Dakini, the Buddha, and Yab Yum.
Inner Journeys — meeting the Dakini, Buddha, or Yab Yum in more depth.
Sound and Light Practices — unblocking and freeing encumbered energy.
Element Meditations — connecting each family to its natural element.
Creative Integration — bringing insights into form through mandala art.
Each session will be personalised to your needs, offering space for exploration, reflection, and transformation.
These practices are truly transformative, I have shifted many blocks and patterns over the last couple of years.
I’m currently inviting two participants to join me for this practicum: three sessions, offered by donation.
