“We aspire to make our lives works of art, whether through music,

through the visual arts or through the simple deeds of our daily existence,

with a view to expressing the bliss that is latent in our deeper selves.”

Swami Kriyananda

4 Saturday mornings, July 1, 8, 15 & 29 (skip 7/22), 10:30am – 12pm. $25/series OR $10/class.

In Hansa Temple at Ananda Community (20715 Larch Way, Lynnwood WA 98036)

In this 2nd Summer 4 week Art Series, we continue our exploration of the role of creativity in our lives and consider why creativity is so important on the spiritual path. 

– We invite much class participation and discussion in this conversation. 

– We will consider the part played by our feelings when we produce artwork.

– Can art uplift consciousness? How does this happen? 

– Is there a higher purpose that art can serve? Swami Kriyananda has many ideas to share in his work Art as A Hidden Message.

– To start, we will look at the works of Fra Angelico (1395-1455) and Marc Chagall (1887-1985) and delve into their ideas and images to discover the secret message they were discovering and sharing.

-There will be an opportunity to share your own artwork, visual and word.
