Mavis
Gewant is an artist, mother and teacher. She studied the ancient
techniques of yantra
painting and silk deity painting from Tantric Master, Shri
Harish Johari, as his student and personal assistant for more
than twenty years, and he encouraged her to teach this knowledge.
Mavis has illustrated Dadaji's last
book, The
Planet Meditation Kit, which contains yantras
and mantras
of all the planets. A student of Jyotish
and an experienced teacher of many subjects, her sadhana consists
of painting yantras and deities and helping others through this
transformational art form.
Yantras, which are her specialty, are
geometric centering instruments, used to awaken the energy of
various deities and planets and to make contact with our inner
being. This dynamic, creative form of meditation has been used
for centuries as a tool for actualizing latent potentials. Mavis
will guide the selecting, constructing and painting of the appropriate
Yantra for each student. You do not need to be an artist or painter
to enjoy this workshop. Our focus will be on the inner process,
in an atmosphere charged with concentration, introspection and
inspiration. More information on yantras.
