The island of Lindisfarne is located off the Northumbrian coast, England. It is also called Holy Island, and was a primary pilgrimage site for Celtic Christians. Whatever your religion or believe, Lindisfarne is a spiritual and mystical place where you can find calm and solace. Although we may not have a physical place like Lindisfarne to go to, mandalas can act in a similar way, bringing peace and tranquility to our lives.
Mandala means "circle" in Sanskrit. They can symbolize the universe, the natural perfection in nature, and universal harmony. Tibetan Buddhist monks create their traditional Mandalas with colored sand. I create my Mandalas with light. A technique involving lights, camera, photoshop for post production, and my trusty rusty tripod. All the images on this website are the copyright of Terry Long, who produced them. Prints may be purchased, and workshops are available. Call Terry at 909.648.6646
