This page offers stories, testimonials, and thoughts from visitors who want to share a special experience or insight they may have had here at The Mandala Center.   We have found that people come sometimes without knowing why and leave with a profound or inspiring story of a new insight, a transformational moment, a welcomed healing, a change of heart, or a fresh understanding.  In sharing our stories our “awe”-inspiring moments ripple out to touch others, reminding us we are not alone and seeding hope and compassion in each other’s hearts.

SOMETHING MYSTICAL

“Two women from the Texas panhandle took a risk to come to this unknown place.  What we found was mystical and beautiful.  Something very different and unique, something more intimate than we expected.  Something…well, indescribable.  The Mandala Center has been a safe healing place, a place to be supported in my grief and find my way through it.  By the very nature of this place and the kindness of the staff and each retreat leader, I am learning to walk through changes and live into my new life.  For these gifts, transformations, and such a place to return to again and again, I am forever grateful.”
