Russian-born, New York-raised Harvard student, “Zapadnik” (as she calls herself), shot this photo of the Danilov Monastery bells which have a fascinating history. Essentially they left Russia in 1930 to go to Harvard and then in 2008 they were returned to their homeland of Russia, to the Danilov (St. Daniel) Monastery in Moscow. Zapadnik, being a Harvard student, included a trip to the monastery to see the bells as part of her “year off from Harvard.“

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
