How to make a mandala of the elements with the traditional technique and course on astrological calculation.
his workshop is based on the astrology of Jung-we-Kyil-khor, the mandala of the elements. The purpose of this mandala is to harmonize the elements of our life, capacity, fortune, and protection.

Why is it necessary to harmonize the elements related to one’s birth? Because everything, internal and external, is made up of the five elements.

When these elements are in harmony everything goes ahead in the best possible way, but when they are in conflict, life is shortened and the capacity, health and fortune are diminished. But harmony can be restored and rediscovered.

According to the principle of interdependence, seeing and being in contact with images created in this way, for example by placing them in an area of the house where we often see them, will harmonize the elements.
During this workshop we will:
