Mandala translated means “circle.” It represents wholeness and can be seen as a model for the organizational structure of life itself — a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds.  The mandala is primarily used as a form of meditation and prayer to gain knowledge from within.

Listening prayer invites us to listen with our whole being.  Holy listening involves all our senses and calls us to be mindful and aware of God’s presence wherever we may be.
