The Architecture of the Awakened mind is a workshop exploring the deeper meaning of 'Mandala', or sacred space, by architectural designer Lillian Sum.

Participants will explore the term interconnectedness through simple art exercises and guided visualizations to help us connect between the inner and outer worlds, journeying from one's self to our community, the globe and the vastness of space.

Participants will be invited to collectively contribute towards creating a large floor mandala situated on the eastern gate of the Dhyana space.
