Co-Creative Mandalas have a vibration that anchors, activates specific qualities, and represents something about ourselves, the natural world, and the energy in the universe at a particular time. This year the mandalas support Aligning with Wisdom,
within ourselves,
with the natural rhythms in nature,
and with the Great Mandala.
Paradigm shifts often happen in April. As spring unfolds around us, nature reminds us of our own capacity for growth and transformation.
Spring is doing her best to emerge from winter here in Colorado. At one point in the last couple of weeks, she skipped right over spring and landed squarely in summer. Then gave us "weather whiplash" that plummeted us back into winter. Even so, the signs are all around us: Our yard is covered in patches of pale green and bright yellow dandelions. The early "te'te-ta'-te'te" daffodils bloomed in all their glory. And, when I look closely, I see buds bursting at the ends of maple tree branches.
Can you feel it? The gentle stirring of new life beneath the soil, the whispered promises of growth carried on the spring breeze.
This is a season of profound beginnings – a time when nature invites us to embrace our own blossoming potential.
Like the seeds preparing to break through winter's chilly soil, I sense there's something beautiful waiting to emerge within each of us, too.
As spring reveals its vibrant tapestry, it's the perfect moment to deepen our connection with the natural world through mindfulness, with presence. The gentle unfurling of new leaves, the cheerful chorus of morning birdsong, and the soft warmth of the changing breeze all invite us to slow down, breathe deeply, and awaken our senses.
In a time when the world can feel heavy with uncertainty and challenge, nature quietly reminds us that resilience, renewal, and balance are always within reach.
Whether it's sitting quietly by a blossoming tree, walking mindfully along a forest path, or simply pausing to feel the earth beneath your feet, spring offers countless opportunities to be held and supported by the natural world. Just as the trees continue to root deeply and reach skyward, we too can find steadiness and presence, returning to what is simple, true, and alive in this moment.
This Co-Creative Mandalas Oracle three card reading for the collective taps into the energy of the month so we can navigate the weeks ahead with grace and ease.

Before I drew the cards, I asked:
What do we/you/I need to know about Aligning with Wisdom in April?
The first card, the Focus Card, anchors and grounds us this month.
ABUNDANCE
This mandala is from a photograph of yellow species rose (symbolizes joy) and is associated with the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, and crown chakras.
It reminds us that there's an increase of abundance in unexpected ways. We have planted the seeds of abundance and now the Universe is blessing us. The mandala points toward expansion. Open your heart, open your mind...you are about to receive.
Affirmation:
Abundance blooms all around me and radiates through me. I see blessings everywhere and in everything.
The 2nd card supports the Focus Card.
What do we need to know that supports us to Align with Wisdom?
ATTRACTION:
This mandala from a photograph of pink species rose (symbolizes gratitude) is associated with the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, and crown chakras.
At the heart of all inspiration and growth is love.
This mandala reminds us that tenderness and love are always available. The love, compassion, and self-acceptance you give yourself attract love (in all its forms) to you. This is the time to notice opportunities for new connections or for deepening current connections.
We are connected to heart energy when we release old, toxic relationships, thoughts, and beliefs that no longer serve our most expansive self. We are worthy of attracting love.
Affirmation:
I deeply and completely love and accept myself. I attract love in wonderful and unexpected ways.
The 3rd card supports our next steps.
What will help us Align with Wisdom throughout April and beyond?
