August 9-14
Cultivating Devotion through Creative Expression
Open your heart to God! 
Through the self-offering and surrender that happens in a creative flow you can feel a profound connection with the Divine.
In the studio we become as little children, able to enter the kingdom of God. Guided inspiration in creative process brings us into the present moment where we are open hearted and free. Creating a beautiful alter, we’ll use art-making as a meditative practice .
“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:3
In addition to time creating in the studio we will also cultivate inner sweetness through devotional chanting, sacred movement and immersion in spiritual poetry such as Yogananda’s poem ‘Samadhi’. During the week we will join the Ananda Community in the celebration of Krishna’s Birthday (The Indian Holiday of Janmashtami) in the temple of Light.
