The mandala is a circular art form used by psychologists to access subconscious thought through symbolism and it has recently been adopted by nurse educators as a learning strategy for self-awareness.  The lived experiences of six first-year undergraduate nursing students who completed a mandala assignment for emotional learning were explored using hermeneutic phenomenology.  Participants experiences diverged from their original expectations that the mandala assignment would allow for a fun and free expression of ‘self’.  Participants did describe experiences of self-discovery; however, their experiences also resembled those associated with socialization in nursing education.  Participants described both self-reflection and critical-reflection while completing the mandala assignment.  Nurse educators and researchers can gain insight regarding the use of this assignment as an integrated transformative learning approach for emotional learning.
