"When the soul wishes to experience something, she throws an image of the experience out before her and enters into her own image."

                  Meister Eckhardt
 


Welcome to Art Heals the Soul, a site dedicated to the creative care of the soul through expressive art. I offer spiritual direction and workshops in spirituality and the arts  to individuals, families, churches and organizations. 

Everyone is an Artist!

I believe that art heals the dis-ease of the modern soul, and in doing so helps us heal our bodies and our communities.  Creating art takes us into an inner world of imagery and emotion far deeper than words can express. This allows us to experience and integrate parts of ourselves fragmented by our
    productivity-oriented society.

Art, music and meditation are known to alter brain waves and physiological responses, activating our bodies' own healing resources. They create a sense of calm and well-being, and a greater connection to ourselves and others.

I also believe in mindful creativity as a valuable spiritual practice. To be creative is to see the world fresh, with "beginner's mind", removing the separation of sacred and mundane, subject and object, self and other.
