In our workshop, participants will experience the sacredness of the Rangoli/Kolam through the authentic and delicate guidance of Chandini Harlalka, one of the teachers of the orginal seminar.

 Rangoli is an art form native to Nepal, India and Bangladesh in which patterns are created on the floor in living rooms or courtyards using materials such as colored rice, dry rice flour, colored sand or flower petals. It is usually made during Diwali or Tihar, Onam, Pongal and other Indian, Bangladeshi and Nepalese festivals related to Hinduism. 

Chand, Kate and Belinda Rego, another original trainer  as well as one of the trainers in the seminar will lead the group into a Dandia dance.

 Each participant will be able to create their own Rangoli Mandala using the rice powder.
