Shine Your Light: Star Mandala Workshop

As the salt air clears the mind we’ll move away from the digital world and into creative play.



1 hour Class size 1 to 19 guests       Free

Where: Surfers Paradise (Beachfront)
When: Saturday, 9th May | 9:00am – 10:00am
Start your weekend with a "tactile return" to nature. Before the city fully wakes up, join us on the sands of Surfers Paradise to weave your very own Star Mandala—a physical anchor for the light we all carry within.
Why by the ocean?
There is a unique rhythm where the shore meets the sea. As the salt air clears the mind and the waves provide a natural soundtrack, we’ll move away from the digital world and into the rhythmic, analogue pulse of creative play.
What to expect:
  • The Art of Weaving: Learn to use vibrant yarns and geometric symmetry to create a "Star of Kindness."
  • A Meditative Map: Each mandala serves as a quiet tool for reflection and intentional living.
  • Community Connection: Whether you’re a seasoned creator or have never touched yarn in your life, this is a space for everyone (ages 5 to 105!).
  • Global Hope: This session is part of the Project Odyssey Starlight Mandala initiative, spreading peace, love and connection one star at a time.
"The creation of a star is a manifesto of shared human experience—a meditative map to help us find our way back to peace and love."

Weaving Heartprints Across the Cosmos
The journey of Starlight Mandala began at the intersection of science and soul. In 2022, inspired by an article by Dr. Beatriz Villarroel regarding "missing stars" in our universe, I felt a calling to bring that light back to Earth. I set out to craft 100 physical star mandalas to let her know they had been found. This "Cosmic Play" was sparked by the technical and heart-led teachings of my dear friends, Camila and Sauro, who taught me the true art of falling in love with weaving.
With a passion for connecting kindred spirits, I have shared this meditative craft with hundreds of students across every age group—from the wonder-filled eyes of kindergarteners to the focused hands of high schoolers and adults.
I believe in weaving heartprints of love and kindness. My classes are a space for connection, presence, and the joy of creating something that resonates with the rhythm of the universe.
Star mandalas have traveled the world, having been exhibited in libraries across:
Australia: Brisbane, Canberra, Tasmania, and Perth
International: Romania and New Zealand
Currently, my work is dedicated to my most ambitious project yet: The Odyssey Starlight Mandala. My mission is to craft 10, 000 star mandalas, each one a unique gift of welcome and peace for every athlete competing in the 2032 Brisbane Olympics.
When you join a class at Starlight Mandala, you are becoming part of a cosmic story that celebrates our shared humanity and the light we all carry.
Love and light,
Anca
