The fish is mute, expressionless... 'cause the fish knows! - from a song by Emil Kosturitsas, "Arizossa Dream"

My mandala stands for all the deepest hidden secrets of my heart that language is impotent to convey.

Note: This mandala was created by an attendee at the first in a series of three conferences called "The Balkan Youth Reconciliation Seminar Series" in Plovdiv, Bulgaria. The series is designed to encourage young people to envision a future of peace and identify ways in which they can contribute to that goal.

Cathie LeVasseur, Founder and Executive Director of Journey of the Heart and facilitator of both labyrinth and Mandala Project workshops, recently returned from the conference with wonderful and poignant stories about her experiences working with the Balkan youths.
