M A N D A L A S coloring pages are the elements of the original project named #helpingbycoloring. The idea was born in 2020, right after the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
This engaging project was created out of the need-of-the-heart to help people locked in their homes, as well as children suffering from life-threatening diseases, and other people whose lives have been shattered in the face of the global crisis.
Still in the development phase, it will certainly bring a lot of goodness and joy over and over again. / THE BEST IS YET TO COME
From Mandalas to ENJOY to #helpingbycoloring
Skeptics say that in the time of crisis, art is not the most pressing human need. Experience shows, however, that art is essential for life. It allows you to break away from the hardships of reality and delve into another, different, interesting world. It also makes it possible for you to look into the distance, beyond your own horizon, and enjoy the artistic visions spread by the creator.
Mandalas meaning "circles" in Sanskrit, the literary language of ancient, medieval and early modern India. Since the dawn of time, mandalas have been used as sacred symbols for meditation, prayer and healing.
Nowadays, mandalas are also a helpful tool in artistic therapy. In clinical trials, mandalas have been shown to strengthen the immune system, reduce stress and pain, lower blood pressure, promote sleep and relieve depression. They are recommended for both adults and children.

What is the phenomenon of this project?
The artist sends her original coloring pages, which she created on the basis of her own paintings, to those who will, in return, declare (and prove) a payment to the account of a selected fundraiser to help a sick child, a person in a refugee crisis or at risk of exclusion.
In this way, the help reaches both the addressee of the coloring pages (something for the spirit and mind) and others in need of support (financial help), and the author remains satisfied that her mandalas "do good and sow joy" - and that is exactly what Mandalas to ENJOY were created for.
Accept our invitation to the world of unlimited possibilities. Make yourself comfortable here, calm down, relax, envision intentions and paint your life with the colors of your dreams!
