Kelley Worth / Mandala by Gianna Robinson
HPH - Art For the Heart welcomed Kelley Worth on July 31st!
HPH Western NC Affiliate Leader Kelley Worth taught parents how to create a mandala.
A mandala is a classical Sanskrit word meaning "sacred circle." In sacred geometry, it represents the "oneness" or the "never ending." There are many ways to create a mandala. Kelley worked with the traditional mandala creation for this expression.
In this class, parents came together to learn how to use this artistic expression to create a mandala for an intention. They thought of why they wanted to create a mandala (to create healing, develop insight or practice mindfulness). Kelley has even had some people connect with their kids during the creation of their mandala. Only basic supplies were needed: a few pieces paper (art journal, construction paper, printer paper etc), media of choice and enjoyment (pens, markers, pencils, paint, chalk..etc). Kelley created a moment of sacred space at the beginning of the class to connect to everyone’s higher self. She then moved into creating a traditional mandala with intention, as well as another form of mandala that is more free form. We then ended with questions and sharing.
About Kelley: Kelley is a classically trained mental health clinician. She practiced for 20 years in various group practices, inpatient and outpatient programs. She offered support and healing to families and adolescents in individual sessions and group work. When she and her husband were blessed with a child, she retired. They moved to North Carolina to live a more sustainable lifestyle and Kelley chose to be a stay-at-home mom. Rob and Kelley had 16 years of love, life and adventures with their daughter ~ Aleia Jade. In May of 2022, Aleia transitioned herself to seek relief from PTSD and depression. In the wake of the pain of their only child, their vibrant daughter leaving, she started searching for answers about “what happens next?” In that journey she was led to find Suzanne Giesemann and her work, which lead to finding Helping Parents Heal. This is where her healing began. Learning to live in her grief and learning to strengthen her soul connection to her beautiful daughter. It is the continuing support and proof that HPH offers that led me to want to start a group in our area.
