Celebrate the Artist Within

“An artist is not a special kind of person but every person is a special kind of artist.”- Anand Coomaraswamy

Celebrate the artist in you!

Every now and then, we chance upon a line, a verse that makes us stop in our tracks… pause awhile and reflect on it. There is a flash of recognition in our soul, we are jolted out of our daily preoccupations and feel truly inspired!

How about a day devoted to-

• reading Kabir, Tagore, Rumi and Gibran?
• reflections and explorations?
• connecting with our muse?
• allowing our creative energies to flow?

These great poets of all times have left us with treasures of wisdom and deep philosophical insights in their dohas, couplets and rubaiyats. These verses beckon each one of us differently and offer a different meaning and perspective. It is for each one to get in touch with ‘my own meanings’ and to add other meanings; to allow the play of multiplicity and richness that each one holds within.

As these verses touch a chord within us and thoughts/feelings are evoked…as the reflections go deeper, we see and recognize our patterns and how they play out in our life spaces. This workshop creates a space to bring some of these patterns to our consciousness and understand their impact on our lives.

Aastha Foundation invites educators, artists, poets, writers and all those interested, to engage with your muse, be it Kabir, Rumi or Tagore; to touch the wellspring of creativity within you; to celebrate the artist in you …with a band of co-travelers!
