Julia “Mandala” Weaver, LMFT is the founder of Art and Soul, a resource center for spiritual practice, embodied spiritual psychotherapy, and expressive art. Her 30 years of practice include the Buddhist, Advaita Vedantic, Navajo, Shamanic and Sufi traditions, along with Qigong, Continuum, 5 Rhythms, Soul Motion, iRest, and Sensory Awareness body practices. She has an MA in Integral Psychology, a BA in Fine Arts, a certification in massage, and extensive training in sound/movement expression. Julia is also a licensed psychotherapist in private practice (MFT License #30156). She works with individuals, groups and sangha circles. All that she offers is dedicated to supporting an embodied spiritual awakening that is in service to Gaia and all sentient beings. Her intention is to perceive and reveal the Light inherent in all Life while resting in the “Heart of Luminous Darkness”, letting all response emerge from the fertile womb of silence. While swimming off the Kona coast in 1996, Julia had a mystical experience in which she she was blessed to swim with a small pod of wild spinner dolphins with only her family and two other women for several hours. She spontaneously received mandala images, which took her into deeper dimensions of healing and spiritual practice. “For several years, I had been praying for a vehicle to express my aspirations to create art as a spiritual practice for healing and transformation that wasn’t about me personally, but encompassed the whole. The Mandala process turned out to be the ideal form.” Two weeks after her initial experience with the dolphins, she began studying with Dr. Judith Cornell, author of Mandala: Luminous Symbols for Healing. She gratefully apprenticed and assisted her mentors in workshops through 2001. Since 1996, Julia has offered mandala workshops and presentations for adults and children across the US, Hawaii and London, at locations such as Spirit Rock Meditation Center, California Institute of Integral Studies, Nine Gates Mystery School, Women Of Wisdom and the International Imagery Conference. She also offers webinar workshops that are accessible globally and finds great joy in guiding groups on dolphin swim retreats in Hawaii. She has continued to experience deep physical healing and spiritual awakening through her contact with these highly evolved beings. Many of her mandalas have been birthed in her annual pilgrimages to Hawaii. She is an Environmental Arts Educator, facilitating rite-of-passage ceremonies that combine sacred intention and the Mandala Process with gardens, rituals, collages, and tree planting. These ceremonies promote community re-vitalization, ecological healing and world peace. She also uses the mandala process as a creative consultant with non-profit organizations and is available for consultations or embodied psychotherapy sessions in person and by phone. In response to the events of September 11th, 2001, she creates large-scale community interactive Peace Mandalas called “One World One Heart”. It is her deepest joy to invite others to experience their own embodied luminous divinity through private counseling, retreats, webinars and the sharing of her visionary art, all in service of personal, environmental and social healing. She loves to collaborate!
