The Flower Mandalas blog has a dual purpose:
- To explore the use of art as a means to healing and transformation.
- To ask for your help in completing The Flower Mandalas Project.
Purpose #1: My intent is to use my own Flower Mandalas and related ideas and thoughts as a springboard for a broader exploration of the topic of art, healing, and transformation. I invite you to contribute your own experiences with art, healing, and transformation to the Art, Healing, and Transformation group on Beliefnet.com. I hope that a lively discussion will ensue there. I will moderate this group and, with your permission, post a selection of your contributions on the Flower Mandalas blog. You may also contact me directly at phototransformations@davidbookbinder.com.
Purpose #2: I’d like to ask for your responses to the Flower Mandala images posted here, either briefly as comments to the blog posts or in detail on the Behance Network Fifty-Two Flower Mandalas page. My plan is to create a book of 52 Flower Mandala images, each one paired with an inspirational quotation and original essay which in some way complement the image. My hope is for each image-and-quote-and-essay triad to resonate with a fundamental aspect of human experience.
Thanks for listening and sharing.

Your mandalas are gorgeous and oh so unique. Something about it makes me think…snowflake, yet flower…two in one maybe. I made one the other day that was like a flower and a butterfly, which you can see here if you’d like:

Also, I started the Mandala Oasis Yahoo Group for mandala makers (drawn & digital)and have arranged for Judith Cornell to teach a series of 6 mandala teleclasses starting next week. We are all very excited…and you, and others you know who might be intrested, are invited to join us. Details are at the link below; can link to the Yahoo Group from there too:

Please spread the word!
Cheers! – Cheryl

This image moves me deeply. I resonate with these particular colours. When I look at the image for a lengthy period of time, my focus continually shifts from piece to piece of the image, bringing this portion to the forefront, and then another portion. I can feel my brain working to process it as a whole and as its pieces. Many thanks for the experience.
