After this, I've got 3 more mandala projects until December. One is with orphan children, another for puja/fire rituals, and a mandala workshop using the ancient Filipino script Baybayin with my Diwata friend Mini Gavino. There's also a possible mural project using Islamic and Christian mandalas. Reflecting on these schedules, this time, I asked for a name for the mandalic co-creations that I can use instead of just solely using my own. What was revealed was the word Diwa-Ta Mandala Co-Creations. This came because I asked about how one can represent and channel sacred and co-creative work. It is not primarily my work or creation. So with this new name, I continue to honor the co-creative process with the sacred, with fellow artists, people, and the earth that take place in creating beautiful sacred circles for ritual spaces, workshops, and expressive arts. There is deep meaning in the name and will blog more about it soon.
