Art as an Altered State of Consciousness

Art has long been a doorway into the unseen — a space where image, intuition, and spirit converge.
In many traditions, creativity was never separate from wisdom, health, or the sacred; it was a way of communing with life itself.

This online session invites you to explore art as an altered state of consciousness, a way of entering deeper presence, attunement, and aliveness through the creative act.

Together, we will move gently between stillness and expression, exploring how art-making can open portals of awareness and connect us to something beyond the thinking mind.

No art experience is needed, only your openness, curiosity, and willing heart.

✦ What to Expect

• A short introduction to art as an altered state of consciousness
• Guided creative process (you may use any materials you have, paint, pencil, collage, clay, etc.)
• Reflective sharing and closing integration

Please prepare a quiet space and your chosen art materials.
