The Healing Field as an Elemental Mandala
Evoking an alchemy of well-being, the Healing Field embodies an Elemental Mandala as the four circles extend from the centre of the field. Each circle celebrates its own distinct quality of healing in the elemental dance of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. As we strive to enhance and balance the higher qualities of each element in our life, on both personal and societal levels, we also aim to create a harmony between the elements themselves. You are welcome to come here to explore, receive, and share healing energy. Join us in creating the beauty and magic of the Healing Field.
