Embracing Creativity: The Art of Spirituality

  • Ananda Temple 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA, 94306 United States (map)

2nd of 3 Wednesdays in November, 6-20, 7-8:30pm, free (drop-ins welcome)

Swami Kriyananda’s book Art as a Hidden Message provides a visionary blueprint for the future of art, highlighting its unique ability to foster a more expansive relationship with ourselves and with our communities. By exploring the transformative power of creativity, we recognize that both a creative expression and an appreciation of art and beauty can inspire spiritual growth. As we attune ourselves to a higher reality, we can become channels for its expression.

In this 3-week class, explore the philosophical and practical applications of art, beauty, and creativity as a tool for spiritual growth. Through lecture and discussion we will examine Swami Kriyananda’s teachings on art and creativity, then through guided practice and opportunities for creative expression, we will access that point of intuitive perception where creativity and beauty live. 

  • Explore the role of art in uplifting consciousness and inspiring positive attitudes.

  • Learn about Swami Kriyananda’s vision of art and its higher purpose.

  • Discuss the evolution of art and its impact on Dwapara Yuga (the age of energy).

  • Develop a personal approach to creating and appreciating art as a channel for expressing a greater reality.

Join us for a deep dive into the role of creativity as a tool for Self-transformation.
