1Mandala!

The Team

"One day we will leave behind the driving egotism of individual art. We will return to an art which will express not man's self-divisions and separateness from his fellows, but his responsibility for his fellows and his brotherhood."

The 1Mandala Core Team is composed of six ordinary folks who have come together to manifest something extraordinary. Over the first half of 2010 they have co-creatively crafted the new intention of the 1Mandala. The Core Team is structured following the six fold, yin and yang, male and female balanced pattern that will be repeated in our additional teams as the project expands. Compose of three men and three women, the team covers South, Central and North America, Asia and Europe. Around this original core team our 1Mandala Co-Creative Community, composed of additional Circle teams, is arising to take part in the manifestation.

® / Earth
® is a Jedi Artist. Integrating locally to co-create globally, ® speaks over seven languages from Arabic to German to local indigenous dialects. His art has exhibited in galleries from Vancouver to New York to Berlin. Yet, he is most at home far from the great cities. Believing passionately that Art is not just for the Galleries but is one of our most powerful Oneness Consciousness tools, he travels the Earth, sharing light, love and the sacred art of the Mandala to the disadvantaged and disconnected. An iPhone for a light saber, he travels by foot, bike and occasionally a plane, from village to village.
