Frequently Asked Questions

What information do you need to commission a piece?

I include numerology, chakra energy colours and any other colours that inspire you or are your favourite colours/ colours of the furnishings that the mandala will be near, or would like to include in your mandala. I will need your date of birth, your intention for the mandala (ie- how do you want to feel when you look at it?, what is in your hearts desire that you would like to bring more of into your life?, are there any challenges right now that you would like to overcome? What is your intention?). I appreciate as many photos of colours or “feelings when you view a picture” as possible - as that helps me to tune into what you would like to receive from this mandala. 

What is the normal wait time?

The typical time it takes to have a custom mandala created for you is about 6-8 weeks. However, this duration may vary depending on the number of commissions I have to finish before starting your bespoke artwork. When you place your order, I will provide you with an estimated time for completion.

How do I go about commissioning a piece for myself/ someone else?

I am interested - what do I do now?

Follow this “how to order” sequence here.

How do I get updates on works and workshops as they become available?

Sign up for my newsletter. These newsletters will come out from time to time with news, information, tips and events as they become available. 

Can I get a package of coaching with my mandalas?

Yes absolutely. The mandala can open up questions, space, and a level of self-inquiry that you may like further support with. I am happy to work with you to find the level of coaching, or meditative practice support that you need.

Can I join one of your human “expression” circles?

Of course. Whilst I paint these mandalas - my main line of work is supporting women in public speaking, expressing their true selves, and diving deep into their authentic selves and story. This could also be something you are interested in. You can find out more about my WomanSpeak Circles (ongoing meeting twice a month), or WomanSpeak Foundation Course (3-day intensive) or other meditation/ mantra/ mandala events that I have on HERE.

I invite you to take a look at the events linked to this page - and over at www.chantalroelofs.com for more information. 

What paints do you use?

I use ”Resene” paints which are a wonderful environmental choice and have no or low VOCs. Read more about their range here. I may also use 3D liquid pearl paints on some mandalas, depending on their design.

I have seen a piece I like - can you make me a copy of it?

Every commissioned artwork is one-of-a-kind and designed specifically to resonate with the individual for whom it is created. While we can include your preferred colours and elements, such as a specific sacred geometry pattern or petal shape, it's important to understand that your piece will be uniquely customised for you, reflecting your energy and personal connection.

What if I really don't like the piece I have commissioned? 

Although I haven't experienced it yet, I understand that the final commissioned mandala might not meet your expectations. My priority is ensuring your satisfaction and happiness with your custom artwork. To achieve this, I carefully consider your preferred colours, inspiration, and numerology while creating the piece. If the final result isn't what you envisioned, rest assured that we will work together to resolve any issues. Your satisfaction and trust are important to me.

Where can I see more of your work - to help me decide what I would like my mandala to look like?

Visit my Instagram page at YourSacredMandala to see images and stories behind the mandalas. Or a selection in the gallery HERE.

When I receive my piece - is it ready to hang on the wall?

YES! I will have prepared your piece for hanging with an appropriate hook (or wire for larger and heavier pieces) - so you can hang it on the wall as soon as you receive it.

What is the investment for the different sizes?

The costs for each size are (including GST):

$330 for 30cm diameter

$530 for the 40 cm diameter

$720 for 50 cm diameter

$990 for 60cm diameter  

$1300 for 80 cm diameter

$2200 for 100cm diameter

$330 for a mirror 40cm in diameter with a 25cm mirror in the middle.

What is the best payment method?

I invite you to either pay directly via this website's ‘Shop’ page, or you may organise to deposit directly to my bank account. I accept PayPal payments too - and this can be an easy platform to set up a payment plan with you.

Do you accept payment plans?

Yes, I do.  We can arrange a payment plan that will suit you. We will work out the payment plan so that the piece is fully paid by the time it is finished and sent to you.

Do you post internationally?

Yes - I have shipped to the USA, UK, Canada - and anywhere is possible that receives physical mail. The postage and handling will incur an additional fee. I generally send parcels via Sendle - or if you have a preferred courier, I am happy to work with what is the best arrangement for you. 

What about Shipping Costs?

Shipping will be calculated as a second and separate cost to be paid by you at the time of sending the package. As shipping is wildly different for each destination (and I have found prices can also change quite quickly) - shipping will be calculated after the commissioned piece is finished, at the point of sending.

You will be sent a payment invoice for shipping (at cost price), and once this invoice is paid your Mandala art will be sent to you.

In the case of a gift voucher - the gift recipient won't be charged (unless you organise it that way). The person purchasing the voucher will be notified of the shipping calculation and required to pay the shipping charge.

For an estimate of your shipping cost - as I generally use “SENDLE” (as a broker for many courier lines) for Australia, US, Canada and UK - an estimate of your cost can be found here.

(Note - to help with calculating the quoted price for shipping: the width of the packed piece is up to 10cm & the approximated weights of different sized mandalas - 30cm ~ 1kg, 40cm ~ 1.5kg, 50cm ~ 2.0kg, 60cm ~ 3kg, 100cm ~ 8kg).

Whilst I don’t want to commission a piece, I do want to learn how to do this for myself - do you recommend any courses?

I understand! Creating a mandala is indeed a magical journey. Although I don't currently offer any online courses, I do have plans to host in-person retreats in the future. These retreats will teach you how to create your own mandala, along with meditation and mantra practices.
