More About the Author

Monique Mandali always had an "instinct" for mandalas. Even as a child in Belgium she was fascinated by these circular designs found all over the world. The 22 designs in her first book emerged spontaneously during 10 days while living in a tent in Montana during the winter of 1977-78. "It was the most incredible creative process," she recalls. Wanting to share her mandala designs, she printed and collated several thousand books in 1978 and sold them all. Although her first book was a huge success, Monique decided to focus her energies on raising her young daughter, furthering her own educational interests, and therefore put her mandala venture on hold.

When in 1991 a series of events led her to reprint her mandala coloring book, Mandali Publishing was born. Given that a few First Edition copies from 1978 are still floating around, Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book, Vol. 1 has the unique distinction of being "The (grand)mother" of all mandala coloring books in print.

Responding to the popularity of her first book, Monique created two more mandala coloring books, in 1994 and 1997 respectively. Her third volume was inspired by a trip to Nepal which she undertook after being diagnosed with breast cancer (read more about her healing journey here: http://www.mandali.com/author/). Monique's fourth and last volume, Peace Mandala Coloring Book (publ. 2000), is an incredible collection of Peace Mandalas designed by remarkable girls and boys ages 6-15 from a dozen different countries whose desire was to help spread seeds of peace and harmony around the world at the birth of the new millennium.

In July 1999, she launched MANDALA CONNECTIONS (www.mandalaconnections.com), her online catalog with a one-of-a-kind collection of over 50 mandala coloring books from around the world as well as meditation books, jewelry, post- and notecards, flags and banners, jewelry and more. It is a unique store full of delightful mandala gifts for ages 4-104 that inspire, stimulate creativity, relax, help focus, promote peace and harmony, and soothe body, mind and spirit.

Monique Mandali manages her business and continues her mandala journey in Helena, Montana, which she calls her "personal little paradise". The mandala in the photo is one of her favorite designs (in Vol. 2) that she replicated into a needlepoint tapestry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book Series, September 13, 2000

By 

Richard Fuller, Senior Editor, Metaphysical R... (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book Vol. 2 (Paperback)

Author, artist, transpersonal psychotherapist and business person all describe what Monique Mandali is, but do not tell you who she is. I've been privileged to meet Monique and I know that she is a seeker traveling her path. Her walking stick is her love for all, especially children. Ms. Mandali offers a series of four coloring books for children and adults. There are three different delights in the original Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book series, each consisting of 22 designs. While the original three books in the series contain designs by the author, the latest (and perhaps greatest) has 25 peace mandalas from children all around the world. The Peace Mandala Coloring Book is very special because the mandalas are designed by children unencumbered by the pressure of adult living. Further, they bring a variety of spiritual as well as geographical cultures to bear.

Monique Mandali has given us something special. Not only do we find drawings to color that can aid in health and serenity...Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book Series is additionally special because they represent the best part of Monique Mandali, her love!

Gorgeous designs. I've purchased several copies as gifts for kids as well as older people and am not about to stop buying this wonderful coloring book. Plus I really like the perforated pages for easy removal of the pages. Thanks, Monique!

5.0 out of 5 stars Configure the Center Just How You Need It, March 3, 2004

By 

Quadradox (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Everyone's Mandala Coloring Book Vol. 2 (Paperback)

I purchased the whole series. At times different forms call for my attention and the additional selection is definitely appreciated. The variety is quite good. They range from simpler to complex, with open spaces which leave room for my own variations. The author's designs seem to create a sacred space in which the individual's own light can shine, even if all they want to do is simply "color" a bit. I would expect this flexibility to make them accessible to people with widely varying skills: children, many disabled persons, the elderly, the imaginative and the gifted artist, as well and most of us who are somewhere in between. Yet they are undemanding so that no one need miss out on the calm center and its healing.
