Join Jenny de Pretto for a beautiful mandala painting workshop at this year’s World Yoga Festival!

Painting a mandala is a simple, enjoyable activity that anyone can do. It’s a wonderful way to relax and reduce stress. The calming, repetitive patterns help you stay in the present moment, encouraging self-expression and personal exploration along the way. It’s a gentle process that supports emotional well-being. In this session, Jenny will guide you step by step. We’ll begin by practicing the technique on paper. Once you feel confident, you’ll move on to painting your own beautiful mandala on a mug or notebook, a unique piece you can take home and enjoy. Please note that a £12 material fee applies to this class.

A Collective Prayer for Peace - the Closing Ceremony at World Yoga Festival 2026 🕊️

As the final act of World Yoga Festival 2026 and in celebration of our 10th year, we invite everyone to come together in a powerful collective prayer for peace.

Before we part ways and return to our homes, we will gather as one community and chant the ancient Vedic peace prayers.

In a world that often feels divided and uncertain, let us unite our voices, hearts, and intentions in a prayer for the wellbeing of all beings everywhere. The closing ceremony is one of the most beautiful and moving moments of the festival. When hundreds of people chant together with a shared intention, it creates a powerful atmosphere of peace, harmony, and unity.

We warmly encourage all participants to stay until the very end and be part of this special offering to the world. Let us conclude our time together not only with gratitude for what we have received, but with a heartfelt prayer for peace for all. Lokāḥ Samastāḥ Sukhino Bhavantu - may all beings everywhere be happy and free.

🙏 Join us. Stay for the closing ceremony. Add your voice to this collective prayer for our world.
