Gold Leaf Mandala & Sacred Word Intentions Workshop
Sunday 4 October 2026 · 10:30am – 2:30pm · Root Café, Norwich
A calm, creative morning to slow down, make something beautiful, and carry home a handcrafted mandala engraved with your own personal intention. Guided by artist Amber Stefani, this four-hour workshop is designed for complete beginners — no artistic experience needed, and nothing to bring.
What’s included in your £65
- All materials — paints, real gold leaf, brushes, and your laser-cut mandala board, all set up and waiting when you arrive
- Cake and a drink from Root Café — included in your place, so you can settle in and enjoy the atmosphere before you begin
- Your Sacred Word Intention — your chosen word, phrase, or affirmation, laser-engraved into the inner ring of your mandala before the workshop day
- Your completed mandala — you leave with a finished, one-of-a-kind gold leaf artwork to take home and display
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.
It might be something you’re working towards, something you want to remember, or simply a feeling you want to carry with you. There’s no right or wrong. Only what’s true for you.
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
Share your word in the order notes at checkout, or email Amber after booking — she’ll need it a few days before the workshop.
What to expect on the day
Arrive at Root Café at 10:20am to start for 10.30am. Your engraved mandala will be ready laid out with materials ready to explore. After a warm welcome and refreshments, Amber guides you through every stage — there’s nothing to worry about and no wrong way to do it.
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 a small group of people so the atmosphere stays personal and supportive.
It’s a wonderful morning for anyone who’s been meaning to slow down and make something with their hands. It also makes a beautiful gift.
