Event Overview

This class is for anyone who ever went to an art museum and felt like they didn't quite get it but were afraid to admit this. 

• Do you ever find yourself going to a museum because you think you’re supposed to go look at great art and you want to feel something but then nothing happens? 


• Do you sometimes find yourself standing there in a room full of art and wondering what all the fuss is about and at the same time being a little afraid to confess that to the person standing next to you, even though that’s your friend/partner/spouse, who came to the museum with you in the first place? 


• Do you want to know more about composition, color, materials so you can better be able to read an artwork? 

Perhaps it all makes you feel a bit stupid. I’ve been there. I know how you feel. 

And so you wander out of the museum, unsure of what to say or do, maybe head to a movie or grab a drink, relieved to be off the hook of CULTURE, hoping to silence that little voice in your head which says this would've been much more fun and interesting if only I wasn't such a dope. 

By the way, YOU'RE NOT A DOPE. We could all just use a little help on figuring out how to look at all the stuff in a museum or an art gallery. Seriously.

So- If this sounds like you, you're going to love this class. 

We’ll visit a museum and talk about how to see, how to engage with the work in a way that involves all our humanity, our hearts, our minds, even our bodies. 

I promise that you’ll have a good time and you’ll realize you can form your own way of making sense of the art that fits rather intuitively with your own experience of life. 

We’ll talk about what art does for us.

Like: how coming into contact with art can allow us to feel moved and connected with the divine. 

We’ll start to see that art can help us remember what is precious to us, help us establish and cultivate hope, even in very challenging times; deal with our sorrows, and so forth. 

You’ll leave this interactive class able to enjoy not only art in the museum but to see differently in your everyday life.

To appreciate the art and divinity in every moment, every breath. To see that each moment of seeing and perceiving, listening, touching and tasting is a moment to respond differently, from a place of an expanded sense of our own potential for the adventure that is our one and only life. 

If this interests you please sign up now. I highly recommend this for loners, friends, first dates, non-dates, adventurers of all types. Introverts. Extroverts. Non-dualverts. IT specialists. Humans. I really hope to see you there, and please tell your friends and bring them with you.
