MANDALA ART

Mandala Art has been the Key Essence Behind Storybeyondlines’ journey in transforming peoples lives through Art

In the ancient Sanskrit language of Hinduism and Buddhism, mandala means “circle.” Traditionally, a mandala is a geometric design or pattern that represents the cosmos or deities in various heavenly worlds. Mandalas are believed to represent different aspects of the universe and are used as instruments of meditation and symbols of prayer. They were produced in Tibet, India, Nepal, China, Japan, Bhutan, and Indonesia and date from the 4th century to present. Now they are created throughout the world, becoming an appreciative and meditative art across the world.

The process of creating a mandala is a form of reflection and a meditation in itself. It can be an efficient stress-relieving exercise, and also helps to promote mindfulness, attention and focus, which in itself is very therapeutic. Furthermore, Mandalas allow for true self-expression, healing and transformation within the process of its creation.

So Come & Explore the Artistic World of Mandalas & Get Meditative!

Artwork for a Yoga Studio

I was curious about Mandala having admired their intricacy and beauty on travels in South Asia. I came across StoryBeyondLines flyer for Mandala classes and wanted to give it a go. I thought I’d maybe attend one or two sessions and find that it was too tricky or that I wasn’t creative enough or my hands shook too much to make anything beautiful. Instead, with Ekta’s patient teaching, fun classes and passion for Mandala, I’ve joined weekly classes and developed a love for the evolving beauty of the drawings as they emerge. Mandala helps me to focus, provides serenity where there is noise, and brings immense joy! Try a class, or two, or three…

We had a wonderful session with Ekta, would highly recommend this deeply relaxing and informative session. The perfect activity with friends.

Claire Laho

(Private party with Friends)

Such a beautiful and mediative practice. The simplicity taught me so much about my inner world. I had no idea that so much could be expressed through simple drawings. It was amazing with StoryBeyondLines

Heather King

(One on One Session with a Yogi)

Thank you for the lovely session. It was truly meditative and going inwards. It was amazing that we all had the same grid and deisgn to make, but each’s finished mandala was different- reflective of each’s personality. Loved the experience of beyond lines experience. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Namaste

I'm Ekta, the creative soul behind “Story Beyond Lines”.

After completing my Masters in Business Administration and working in the corporate world for nearly a decade, I realized my true calling was art. Although self-taught, I have felt a deep connection to art since childhood, creating works for over ten years now. Over time, I understood my purpose was to create art that connects people to their spiritual energy.

This drove me to share my gift with the world through "Story Beyond Lines“, and thus my journey started. With numerous workshops under my belt and many customized commissions, I have brought my artistic expression to audiences in London, India, and beyond.

An avid traveler who enjoys exploring new places and meeting new people, I am also a certified yoga instructor and a fitness enthusiast, and also love playing board games!

Blessed to a be a part of your spiritual journey through my art!
