The tradition of healing  or sacred circles shows itself in parallels through out centuries of  time. It is a powerful symbolism whether seen in the grains of colored sand carefully placed by Tibetan Monks or the Medicine Wheels constructed by American Natives. In Jungian Psychology, the Mandala or magic circle is visualized in dreams symbolizing the dreamer's striving for unity of self and completeness.

 In his book "The Western Mandala", Adam Mc Clean writes: "Mandalas can be seen as keys that unlock the mysteries of our soul's architecture. If we choose to use them in this way, they can lead us deep into the mysteries of our inner world."

The mandalas in the Chrysalis Project are an invitation for the viewer to contemplate the beauty in the world and to realize that all of us exist in a chrysalis of conditioning and belief, and that in any holy second we can choose to break out of that chrysalis and exist in a space of glory and peace.
