Engaging the sacred through the practice of art and writing.

Art is a spiritual path - not a religion, but a practice that helps us knit together the ideals and convictions that guide our lives. Creating art can be prayer, ritual, and remembrance of the Divine. And the sharing of this creativity with others in small groups can serve as sanctuary, asylum, ashram, therapy group, think tank, and village square. Pat Allen has developed a reliable guide for walking the path of art through a series of simple practices that combine drawing, painting, and sculpture with journal writing. Designed for readers at any level of artistic experience, the book shows how to-* awaken the creative force and connect with the divine source of creativity* access inner wisdom and intuition about life issues, including both personal and community concerns* find a path to meaning that includes honoring, celebrating, and giving thanks* explore the images and symbols of traditions such as Catholicism, Judaism, shamanism, and Goddess worship* join in spiritual community with others who are following the path of art* discover that artmaking can help us live our ideals and be of service in the worldDetailed examples from the author's own practice of art, plus the stories and images of several other people, are presented to illustrate how art becomes a spiritual path in action. At the author's virtual studio, www.patballen.com, readers can post their images and writings, communicate with the author, and subscribe to an electronic newsletter. The site also contains an archive of the images in this book in full color.

Excelente libro

Simplemente fan de este libro. Es un enfoque completamente diferente del arte. Pensar en la espiritualidad y el crear en comunidad abre caminos para replantearse el impacto personal y comunitario del arte. Nos conecta y trasciende. Además, excelentes condiciones de entrega

Far exceeded my expectations. Well educated and credentialed artist shares her studio process in such detail and with such vivid connections to a deep spiritual life.
Inspiration, creation, and celebration define the cycle. Being witness to the art and writing intentions are inspiring ideas. Artist infuses ideas from Great thinkers.

I wish I could have liked this book, but it did not have a lot of factual content, mostly personal experience. I felt it was a little too spiritual and “hippy dippy” and I found it to be unreadable.

Very inspiring

Reviewed in the United States on 2 September 2016

Art is a Spiritual Path is a great continuation of Pat B.Allens first book, Art is a Way of Knowing, and if you did not read the first book, you can not fully understand the joy of the Art as a Spiritual Path. So if you are an adventurer to find yourself throuhg art, these are two books that you have to read.
