A meditative art experience in London with coffee!



1.5 hours - 2 hours Class size 1 to 30 guests

If you're keen to explore your creativity and want to feel more at home with yourself, come along to this mandala drawing workshop and enjoy a meditative, purposeful art experience.
In the ancient Sanskrit language of Hinduism and Buddhism, mandala means “circle.”
Traditionally, a mandala is a geometric design or pattern that represents the cosmos or deities in various heavenly worlds. Creating a mandala is a form of ‘artistic meditation’, which involves a careful, quiet, prayerful kind of attention, helping you:
  • Feel more balanced and centred in yourself
  • Be a bridge between your conscious and unconscious self
  • Improve concentration and develop mindfulness
  • Enhance your sense of awareness and perception of shapes and patterns
In this beginner-friendly drawing workshop, you'll learn how to create a mandala design using geometry, with the traditional tools of a compass, straight-edge, pencil and pen.
In your journey of creating beautiful art, you extend your curiosity outwards from the centre and inwards within yourself. The process is in itself a wonderful metaphor for Life's journey: How we navigate pathways and intersections, follow lines of interest, pause to step back and contemplate the whole, and trust the gradual unfolding without knowing the end result.
So come join in for a surreal experience, which is fun and engaging over a cup of coffee!
This workshop is held in a beautiful cafe, and a cup of wonderful coffee is included in your workshop!
Additionally, you can purchase my Mandala Journey Workbook, specially designed and curated with 100+ patterns to practice your art and 20 mandala grid templates for you to create your own stunning Mandala artwork at home. The workbook can be purchased alongside the workshop. (Optional).
In this workbook, you’ll find a thoughtful blend of guided exercises and open spaces to help you build confidence, consistency, and calm through art.
What’s Inside:
  • 100+ curated mandala patterns to practise line work, detailing, rhythm, and flow
  • 20 mandala grids & guided templates to help you create balanced designs with ease
  • Inspiring quote pages and mindful pauses throughout
  • Space for free exploration and your own creative expression
Why You’ll Love It:
  • Perfect for a daily creative practice
  • Helps improve focus, patience, and mindfulness
  • A calming screen-free ritual to return to anytime
  • Build your own personal “keep book” of patterns, ideas, and progress
  • Suitable for beginners and experienced creators alike
So grab your copy!
And come and join me for a beautiful meditative experience!

Recent reviews of Mandala Art Workshop - Sip, Relax and Create

  • 5/5 from Ines Zdelar, attended Sep 2026: What a wonderful Saturday morning! Such a beautiful workshop filled with creativity and mindfulness. Ekta was absolutely amazing! She shared just the right amount of information while giving us plenty of space to explore our own creativity and simply enjoy the moment. I absolutely loved it! Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Lucy Longton, attended Aug 2026: This was a really enjoyable class, Ekta was a great teacher and broke down what looked complicated into simple steps. Creating our own mandala was very relaxing and the venue was a lovely cafe. All round chill vibes and a little piece of framed art to take home.
  • 5/5 from Bronwen Knox, attended Aug 2026: Mandala Art was new to me but Ekta made it really easy to ‘sip, relax & create’ as promised - despite my late arrival, sorry!
  • 5/5 from Sonali Patel, attended Aug 2026: Ekta was a fantastic teacher who explained every step clearly and made the whole process approachable, even for beginners. The 1.5 hours went by so quickly because the session was so immersive and relaxing. I walked away with a beautiful piece and a new appreciation for Mandala art. Thank you for such a great workshop. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to try something new and creative!
  • 5/5 from Anita Langley, attended May 2026: Absolutely loved this one hour workshop creating our own Mandela. Loved the final result especially when it’s in a frame. If you get a chance I would definitely book a session.
  • 5/5 from Tom Donaldson, attended Apr 2026: We had a great time at our Mandala art class! Ekta is a great teacher, and made the whole experience very relaxing for us both, I would thoroughly reccomend this class!
  • 5/5 from Bernice Kenniston, attended Jun 2025: I wasn't sure what to expect but the tutor was welcoming and reassuring. Her explanations were clear and she was encouraging. The time passed quickly as the drawing was absorbing but I was never made to feel rushed. She was very generous with her time and sharing her tips and skills. I would throughly recommend.
  • 5/5 from Jerome Tang, attended May 2025: Came not knowing what to expect, however we were very happy with our experience and the mandalas that we created with Ekta’s guidance. It was a very enjoyable and calm session, and 2 hours flew past quickly. Ekta provides the guidance and template for those less confident with their art skills but those with better abilities can freestyle and take their mandala one step further. It was also great to see Ekta’s own art and what can be achievable over time with more practice.
  • 5/5 from Jenny Garrett, attended Apr 2025: I spent the most wonderful Saturday afternoon at a mandala workshop, and I’m still feeling the calm! Huge thanks to the truly expert guidance of Ekta from @storybeyondlines - the mandala I created is something I’m so proud of. It was such a fantastic way to truly relax and reconnect with myself. For those who don’t know, the intricate patterns of mandalas aren’t just beautiful; there’s some fascinating science behind their calming effects. The symmetrical designs can help to focus the mind, reducing mental clutter and promoting a meditative state. The repetition of shapes and colours can also be incredibly soothing, helping to lower stress and anxiety levels. It’s like art therapy in a circle! ‍️ Highly recommend giving a mandala workshop a try if you’re looking for a creative and mindful experience. Thank you again, Ekta! ️ #mandala #mandalaworkshop #mindfulness #relaxation #creative #arttherapy #wellbeing #innerpeace #reconnect #ekta @classbento_uk #classbento_uk

Hi, I am Ekta, the founder of StoryBeyondLines.
Storybeyondlines was conceptualized, aimed at bringing the traditional & spiritual art to the world. To promote art which not only brings joy to people, but also has soothing and transformative effects on ones’ energy, has been a key theme of Storybeyondlines.
A self-taught artist, I have had a deep inclination for art since childhood and have been creating artwork since more than a decade.
Over the years, I realised that I wanted to bring to the world the art that would make someone feel connected to his/her spiritual energy. And therefore my passion for the mandala art grew and she took to my calling to bring forward this art work to a wider audience.
With numerous workshops to my side, i host curated events, retreats and work on commissioned art-works. Have exhibited at the cultural wing of the Indian High Commission in London, even hosted workshops at the Royal Maritime Museum, Greenwich and i am deeply rooted to expressing and bringing forward this beautiful art form across borders.
I Have been featured on BBC Sunday Morning Live, where I spoke, about Mandala Art and its benefits in healing and relieving stress.
