The Sacred Word Intention
Before the workshop, you’ll be invited to choose a word, phrase, or affirmation that feels meaningful to you right now. This personal intention is laser-engraved into your mandala’s inner ring — the quiet heart of everything you create around it.
With the new year approaching, many December participants choose words that speak to what they want to carry forward — an intention for the year ahead, something they want to cultivate, or simply a feeling they want to hold on to.
Examples from past workshops: Trust the Flow · I Am Enough · Inner Peace · Rooted and Rising · Be Here Now · Courage Over Fear · Choose Joy · Bloom Where You Are · All Is Well · Follow Your Heart · Breathe and Receive · Guided by Light · Open to Possibility
Share your word in the order notes at checkout, or email Amber after booking — she’ll need it a few days before the workshop.

Who it’s for
This workshop is designed for complete beginners. Many participants have never done anything like this before — and are genuinely delighted with what they create. The session is relaxed, unhurried, and limited to 15 people so the atmosphere stays personal and supportive.
The December date is particularly popular as a gift — a meaningful, creative morning in the week before Christmas, with something beautiful to show for it. If you’re looking for a gift that’s genuinely different, this is it.
