with Bhavana

September 27 - 28, 2025

bhavana@bhavanagesota.com

Join me for 1 day or 2 days of Yantra Drawing & Painting at the tranquil Harbin Hot Springs. Held at the cozy Yurt 20 beside a gently flowing creek, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the ancient, meditative art of yantra painting, enhancing both artistic skills and spiritual connection.
On day 1 we will focus on Ganesh Yantra, a powerful geometric symbol associated with Lord Ganesha, revered as the remover of obstacles and patron of the arts and sciences.
On day 2 we will focus on Laxmi Yantra, representing Goddess Laxmi, revered as the embodiment of abundance, prosperity, and well-being.
* No prior experience necessary. Step-by-step guidance will be provided.
Schedule for both days: 
Time: 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM
8:30 AM - Opening circle, altar creation, simple and grounding Asana & Pranayama practice, and mantra chanting to attune to the specific energy (Ganesh or Laxmi)
9:30 AM to 12.30 PM - Drawing the Yantra using precise mathematical calculations.
12.30 PM to 2:30 PM - Break for soaking in the harbin hot springs & lunch
2:30 PM to 5:30PM/6:00 PM - Painting the Yantra using specific colors associated with Ganesha's/Laxmi's energy.

* Timings are approximate and will depend on the group. We will aim to finish latest by 6 PM.
