ELLEN O’HANLON
WALKING MANDALA
Ellen is an artist, teacher, and multidisciplinary healing practitioner who holds nearly twenty years integrative healing and nurtures a deep curiosity and love of learning. Ellen’s practice is focused on developing and nurturing her intuition and skills for creative expression. She believes that, coupled with shifts in perspective, the craft of art can lead to meaningful brilliance and life-long change.
For this project, Ellen will create a temporal, environmentally friendly labyrinth installation that will facilitate a meditative walking activity. Focusing on the themes of community connectivity and health, the labyrinth is defined as a unicursal path that leads to a center, both physically and metaphorically. The intention is to take this ancient wisdom art form and interpret it through a contemporary lens, invoking creativity and mental wholeness for the benefit of the individual and the whole.
