<h3>Flower Mandala w/<a href="https://www.molinaspeaks.com/" title="https://www.molinaspeaks.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Adrian Molina</a></h3><h3> </h3>DUE TO WEATHER - THIS OFFERING HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE NALANDA EVENTS CENTER6287 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder, CO 80301For Molina, the construction of the flower mandala is a practice in creative meditation. It symbolizes radical imagination and impermanence. Every flower mandala is a unique expression. There will never be another exactly like it in space and time, like any moment, any day, any year, any lifetime. The flower mandala invokes gratitude, presence, contemplation, and bold visions for our future designs. Adrian H Molina, also known as Molina Speaks, is an artist, poet, and master of ceremonies. His mission is to unite the human spirit through the radical imagination. Molina is the son of a Mexican immigrant father and a Chicana mother from Wyoming. He explores themes of humanity, technology, and sustainability through a futurist lens, informed by Chicano art, Hip-Hop, and the natural world. Molina practices multimedia and conceptual art, studio art, and performance art, working in the mediums of storytelling, writing, live scribe poetry, music, video, doodle, paint and design. He left social media for three years in 2020 to focus on the human dimension. Molina resides in Denver, Colorado, where he has worked on large-scale installations, exhibitions, and events with Meow Wolf, the Denver Art Museum, the Denver Theater District, and numerous arts, cultural, and community organizations. Outside of the urban core, his roots continue to inspire creative work in the San Luis Valley, Mountain West and Southwest.______________________________________________Parking is extremely limited - please use public transportation/car-pool/bike.This is an in-person only event.All workshops are free but if you feel called to donate we’d be grateful.
