An experiential evening with artist and nature-based soulcentric human development guide Doug Van Houten as we explore “what the soul is, and where hidden, and what shape,” in the words of Mary Oliver.
The reinvention of self and world grows out of imagination, a creative rebirth rooted in images. Our human psyches possess innate resources that await within us, but we might not even know they exist until we discover how to access them and cultivate their untapped potentials and depths.
Engaging in processes of art awakens and deepens these powers. The expression of our raw images — our prima materia — into visual form invites their inherent mysteries to do their work on us, incubating life-changing intimacy with our souls and with our world.
