WHAT IS ART AS CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY?

Art as Contemplative Spirituality is a time honored mystical tradition trusting that God is imminently present and active in our lives, constantly guiding us toward our fullest potential in sacred service. We recognize that service to Creator, Creation and Creatures is our highest calling when it is inspired by God.

We release self-serving agendas to become fully committed to serving a Higher Power. We call that Power God and God is Love, Peace, Compassion and Enlightenment.

We, in this human energetic form, are not separated from God, but are at-one-ment with the unknown and unmanifest as well as with the material.

We are the windows through which the unmanifest may flow; we are “servants among servants”. We love, learn, be and bring God’s Kingdom into its divine place

Grace – Authenticity – Service – Anonymity.

We love and choose God every moment. Happiness is a derivative of Happening or rejoicing in every moment. Everything is God, including us and we are humbled and grateful to serve This Omnipresent Force.

These are some of the notions fundamental to the principles and practices of Contemplative Spirituality.

We laugh a lot. Relish each moment. Cherish our relationships with God, self, and others. We are just kids who like to have fun!!

The retreats encourage participants to relax into their deepest higher and lower selves, allowing God to heal obstacles to their gifts and talents and inspire new gifts and talents. With Grace, Forgiveness and Mercy, we safely dive deeply into the mysteries of the unknown or the unmanifested and bring forth that which God desires. God’s Kingdom on Earth. IT IS REALLY FUN, FUN, FUN!!! God loves us to enjoy every moment, delight in every nuance, be present to God’s love and serve with JOY!

Pray, LISTEN, Dance, Sing, Write, Paint, Contemplate, Compose, Dream, Create, Relax, Read, Vision, Imagine, Meditate, Dialogue, Exercise, Diet, Rest, and BREATHE DEEPLY into YOU! ALLOW GOD’S LIFE FORCE IN YOU TO BE LIBERATED!
