Mandalas and Meditation
The Adventure of Blending Families
Centering Prayer Seminar
More information below. Remember to register.
Mandalas and Mindfulness
The Mandala or circle drawing has been used since the beginning of human history to represent the moon, sun, and self. It has been adopted by religious peoples as the symbol for the unconscious and a means by which we can begin to understand life, death and rebirth. Combined with meditation and the opening that comes from quieting the mind and accessing our intuitive self and the divine, mandalas can open a pathway—and a prayerway—to self-understanding, healing and acceptance.
In this workshop participants will be introduced to meditation and mandalas, as well as ways of combining them for personal insight and spiritual growth. This is not an experience designed for artists, but for seekers. No artistic ability is required.
This workshop is not currently scheduled but can be arranged with a group or organization that wants to sponsor it. Call Lacy Camp at 706-369-7911 ext 211 or lcamp@samaritannega.org.
Workshop leaders are Debra Alvis, Ph.D., and Lacy Camp, M.Ed.. Lacy has been in practice in Athens since 1984 and with Samaritan counseling Center since 1992. She has a seminary background as well as being a licensed clinician. She has studied the creating of mandalas with Susanne Fincher and has been tapping the ability to receive knowledge from our creative and intuitive selves all her life.
Debra Alvis is a psychologist in private practice in Athens and on the staff of the Counseling and Psychological Services in the University Health Center, University of Georgia. Debra is a Yoga instructor and active practitioner of meditation.

While it may be true that "love is wonderful the second time around," it is also true that when you have children and former spouses, it is more complicated and emotionally charged. Come join Lacy Camp, M.Ed., and Blaine Everson, Ph.D., for an educational foray into the adventure of blending families. We will look at what to expect from children and how to respond appropriately to them, as well as how to manage relationships with biological parents not in your home. This is an adventure that is not for the faint of heart. Come if you dare!
