Join us for a morning of creativity, connection, and community spirit. We are gathering to craft beautiful yarn star mandalas as part of the Project Odyssey Starlight Mandala, an initiative dedicated to spreading light and hope across the globe.
Be part of the journey
The work is an invitation to a "tactile return"—a gentle departure from the digital world back into the rhythmic, analog pulse of the Universal Heart. As an artisan and educator, I view the creation of star mandalas as a form of "cosmic play" and a manifesto of shared human experience.
Through the use of vibrant, diverse yarns and geometric symmetry, you'll weave "stars of kindness" intended to scatter light across the universe. Each mandala is a meditative map, designed to awaken the soul and guide all beings toward the peace, comfort, and love of their true nature.
The Odyssey Starlight Project is my current journey toward the Brisbane 2032 Games, bridging the spirit of athleticism with the stillness of inner discovery.
This community event is made possible through the generous support of our partners:
  • West Village: A huge thank you to Andrea and staff for providing the beautiful space at West Village.
  • EDGE Early Learning Centre (Jane Street): Deep gratitude to the parents for their kind donations of the yarn we will be using to weave our stars.
  • ClassBento: Gratitude for providing the platform to make bookings.
You are a star, and I extend gratitude for shining your light upon other stars to see their way.
We can't wait to create something magical with you!

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
