Art Is a Way of Knowing: A Guide to Self-Knowledge and Spiritual Fulfillment through Creativity

Making artâ€”giving form to the images that arise in our mind's eye, our dreams, and our everyday livesâ€”is a form of spiritual practice through which knowledge of ourselves can ripen into wisdom. This book offers encouragement for everyone to explore art making in this spirit of self-discoveryâ€”plus practical instructions on material, methods, and activities such as ways to:

Â Â Â â€¢Â Discover a personal myth or story
Â Â Â â€¢Â Recognize patterns and themes in one's life
Â Â Â â€¢Â Identify and release painful memories
Â Â Â â€¢Â Combine journaling and image making
Â Â Â â€¢Â Practice the ancient skill of active imagination
Â Â Â â€¢Â Connect with others through sharing one's art works

Interwoven with this guidance is the intimate story of the author's own journey as a student, art therapist, teacher, wife, mother, and artistâ€”and, most of all, as a woman who discovered a profound and healing connection with her soul through making art.
