About the business:
Vani is a Mindfulness Coach located in Irvine, CA. She helps stressed out teams pause, and take a mental vacation by facilitating the use the Sand Dot Art.
The name DOTURMINDS comes from the phrase “cross your t’s and dot your i’s” which means to pay close attention to the details. Vani believes that we should pay attention to our minds in much the same manner.
Vani teaches mindfulness by guiding teams through an ancient Indian sand art called Kolam or Rangoli. This allows the participants to hone the skill of being in the now. Through this process, you create beautiful works of sand art, paired with other mindfulness tools such as breath work. And at the end of these sessions, you take these beautiful works of art you’ve created and sweep them away into glass jars.
When I first heard about this practice, I was so confused. “Why would I spend all of this time learning, and creating these beautiful pieces of sand art, just to sweep it all away?” The entire process, both the creation and destruction of these works of art helps to teach us more complex lesson:
“Why waste another single minute dwelling in the past or worrying about the future?”
The experience that Vani offers is truly incredible. If you’re looking for a fun, immersive team activity that teaches mindfulness in a uniquely hands-on way, definitely check out DOTURMINDS!
