GRATITUDE – CONNECTION – PROTECTION!
At the start of 2023, the Global Warming Expressers in Las Vegas, White Rock, Santa Fe and Eldorado, New Mexico began working on mandalas. A mandala is an image, with an important being in the center and other beings who/which are important in their world, all around them.
Our mandalas feature each GWE kid’s drawings of themselves in the center. All around them are pictures of people or beings of nature, or objects which they feel Grateful for, feel connected to and feel protected by or that they want to protect them.
Take a few seconds and think about it- What would be your list?
The Global W.E./GWE kids brought their mandalas to the New Mexico Legislature. They carried a giant puppet of a Mother Sun, made by the Santa Fe Circus called Wise Fool, and African drummers performed while they held up their artwork and marched around the building (the building is called the Round House, because it is round.)
Here is a selection of the artwork created by GWEers at Chamisa Elementary in White Rock, NM
If you want to make your own mandala of GRATITUDE ~CONNECTION~PROTECTION, you can find work sheets with instructions in Spanish and English here!!
