In the 1970s, Mira Schendel channeled her interest into philosophical and theological reading. She became close to the field of New Phenomenology, which brought her closer to some of the concepts and ideals of the German philosopher Hermann Schmitz, whom Mira met several times on her trips to Kiel, Germany. Matters involving corporeality brought up by Schmitz were shared by Mira, who was experimenting in her work with aspects related to signs, meditation and understanding art as a phenomenon, available in society and reverberating in multiple facets of existence and the body.

Schmitz is guided by the idea that signs structure experiences, which is in line with Mira's works from this period, which combine references and techniques that she worked on throughout her career. Letterset, watercolor pencils and the use of gold leaf are some of the techniques she combines in some of her works from this period, marked by a strong chromaticism between blue and green colors. During this period, she created her Mandalas, works of concentric geometric shapes found in Buddhism, which Mira was also interested in as part of her meditative practices.

Nos anos 1970, Mira Schendel canalizava seu interesse por leituras filosóficas e teológicas. Aproxima-se da Nova Fenomenologia, que a aproximou de alguns conceitos e ideais do filósofo alemão Hermann Schmitz, com quem Mira encontra diversas vezes em suas viagens feitas a Kiel, na Alemanha. Questões envolvendo a corporeidade trazidas por Schmitz são partilhadas por Mira, que estava experimentando em seu trabalho aspectos relacionados aos signos, à meditação e à compreensão da arte enquanto um fenômeno, disponível na sociedade e que reverbera em múltiplas facetas da existência e do corpo.

Schmitz orienta-se pela ideia de que os signos estruturam as experiências, o que vai de encontro aos trabalhos de Mira deste período, que combinam referências e técnicas que trabalhou em sua trajetória. Letraset, lápis aquarelados, a utilização de folhas de ouro são algumas das técnicas que combina em alguns trabalhos deste período, marcados por um cromatismo forte entre cores azuis e verdes. Neste período cria suas Mandalas, obras de formas geométricas concêntricas presentes no budismo que Mira também nutriu interesse dentro de suas práticas meditativas.
