Hunting the Heart of The Blue Deer with
Art
...your question, your vision, your
prayer, your art...
An artistic journey integrating
anthroposophical art therapy and the traditional healing philosophies of Mexico
facilitated by Eleanor Darley, artist
& art therapist
Inspired by an approach to knowledge from traditional mexican
philosophies this workshop facilitates a journey, using art, to focus intent,
the will to heal or understand something, and the imaginative vision that comes
from communicating with nature. We will explore how we can create art that
lives! That embodies both personal wisdom and the gift of this that we can
offer back to the world in our work.
The art and spiritual practice in indigenous cultures often demonstrates
a way to uniquely attune to the environment and cultivate a state of empathy
with nature. The interactive relationship with nature was much more inherent
and part of a direct communication to learn to ‘see’ and the art produced
contains the forms, colours and essence of what lives. It was often the
responsibility of the artist to create an imaginative interpretation of
knowledge from the spiritual realm and an offering back to the world, in
reverence for the gift of life, and the wisdom imparted.
It is called, Hunting the Heart of the Blue Deer,
because inspired by the Huichol traditions, I have come to know the arrows of
intent open your eyes, and how the wisdom of the heart helps you to see. We will
explore this, and it’s process further over the workshop.
