Download to Color Section 11 of the 2024 Mandala of the Year

We celebrated the Chinese New Year on February 10, 2024. It’s the year of the Wood Dragon. Throughout the year we will be exploring different traits of the wood dragon. This month: Section 11: Prosperous.

In Eastern traditions, dragons are seen as bringers of rain and favorable weather, which are crucial for a bountiful harvest. Their prosperity is thus linked to their generosity—by blessing the land with rain, they bring abundance to the communities they protect, making them symbols of wealth through benevolence.

Dragons are also considered protectors of treasures—both material wealth like gold and gems, and natural wealth such as forests or rivers. Prosperity can be seen as something they both guard and attract, serving as a source of richness and protection

In 2024, we are encouraged to joyfully explore our creativity. The coloring of these sections is intended as one way of doing just that. Feel free to play with new and/or different ways to “color”. As you become more comfortable with being creative, let it spill out into all areas of your life.

BTW: Coloring in the lines is optional!
