Go for a walk and gather materials from whatever nature has to offer you – sticks, driftwood, pinecones, leaves, stones, shells, or berries – and flowers of any size and color. Build it on a sandy beach, a picnic table, a sidewalk, a pretty table – anywhere it can surprise and delight those who discover it.

Build outward from the center and leave the mandala out for other passersby to enjoy. Infuse your mandala with a prayer, a wish, or an intention.
