From celebrating summer to taking a stand with toast

Celebrating summer

Leaves, flowers, berries, buttons and strips of ribbon and wool came together in an all age activity that delighted the senses at a recent Area Meeting.

A group mandala was created by Friends at Mid-Somerset Area Meeting in June.

Marilyn Upton explained: ‘The word “mandala” is Sanskrit. Loosely translated it means “circle.” A mandala represents wholeness, and can be seen as a model for the organisational structure of life itself – a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds.
