Make a Mandala
with Charis Santillie
Charis will lead you in the fun, creative activity of making a beautiful mandala for your home or office.
You'll first select a pre-painted, ready-to-hang circular board (choose from a variety of beautiful shimmery colors), then you'll design your mandala by gluing on beautiful beads and baubles. (all supplies are included)
A mandala is a geometric configuration of symbols, and the word mandala itself means "circle" in Sanskrit. Mandalas are often viewed as a symbol of the cosmos or universe. Some spiritual traditions use mandalas for meditation or for marking a spiritual space. And for some, a mandala represents the spiritual journey, starting from the outside to the inner core, through layers.

Crystal Sound Bath
with Kat Shotz
Sound Bathing is an ancient sacred healing practice. The vibrations of sound have been scientifically proven to ease pain, anxiety & stress. It has been found to lower blood pressure, calm the nervous system, and offer ease & relaxation. This modality is deeply nourishing to our mind, body, and spirit — especially when practiced in community. The quartz crystal bowls clear our energy fields and renew ourselves on many levels.
Kat Shotz MFT, 500YTT has been drawn to the healing arts for most of her life. She finds joy in sharing creative healing practices to help others know themselves in a deeper way. Her approach engages a holistic view of weaving mind, body, and spirit together- which leads to an energetically aligned sense of well-being. Looking through the lens of the heart, she brings a sense of loving kindness to her clients and friends. She reminds others that our inner wisdom is our greatest guide.
A Little More about Charis
I know what it's like to seek a purpose-filled balanced life. I was born with ambition. But I was called to this work during a pivotal moment nearly 30 years ago.
My family was celebrating my Dad’s 50th birthday with a hot air balloon ride. The ride was beautiful, but when we were ready to land, something went terribly wrong. The pilot knew we were coming in too fast and told us, “HOLD ON TIGHT. WE’RE GONNA HIT HARD!” The balloon basket hit the ground and violently bounced. My Dad was thrown out, and a rope got wrapped around his ankle. He was suspended in the air, hanging upside down below us, and was dragged the length of a football field through rows of corn and alfalfa. The next thing I knew, we were on the ground, racing over to Dad, who was face down and not moving. This crash landing left my Dad paralyzed with a broken neck and led my Mom to become an alcoholic.
That crash happened when I was just 19 years old, and ever since then, I lived my life feeling unsafe, unconsciously scared of so many things, and always bracing for impact. Needless to say, I avoided my feelings and managed my internal crisis by staying ridiculously busy—giving me the illusion of control.
Living your best life is possible. I know from personal experience and the work I’ve done with my amazing clients – that despite what scenario life gives you – there is always a way to reserve personal space, balance, and fulfillment.
Come enjoy a spa/play day with me and soothe yourself with some of my favorite self-care practices.
