Project Information
Project Name

Workshop Prescott, AZ

Overview:

 Art is an alternative way of viewing of observing of thinking about the world. The most exciting thing is to tap into the creative process, which creates spiritual conflict; the resolution of that conflict is not that important. If more people could enter into this kind of excitement, there would be less conflict between people and a diminished interest in materialism.

Project Plan
Goals/Objectives
  • To develop creative, visual experiences to support an opportunity to learn and explore together our understanding of ourselves.
  • To allow the artists to further reflect on their experiences of what they see and share their reflections with others to support broader communication
  • To model the wisdom of a multi-perspective methodology
