The Complete Painting From the Source: Re-Enchantment of People and Planet Through Art Aviva Gold

?IMAGINE a world where each person practices intuitive art a few moments each day?drawing, poem, dance, song, or ritual? surely this universal act of healing prayer opens hearts, fostering right action for the entire web of life,? says Aviva Gold. This updated version of Gold's classic guide to ritual visual expression, Painting From The Source: Awakening The Artists Soul In Everyone (Harper Collins, 1998), now includes the long-awaited sequel, which inspires the reader to not only seek out the artist within, but to bring that creativity into the world and to inspire others to do the same. The new final chapters, Source Art in The World, address improvised arts as a powerful spiritual ritual and eco-activism practice, with instructions on implementation. The Complete PFTS is an essential read for anyone interested in how authentic creativity can re-enchant and heal our ailing world. It is a call for art activism as a catalyst for cultural transformation. The digital companion version is supplemented with over 70 links to illustrative web sites, definitions and videos. www.
