Resources for your own creative journey…
Contemplative practice feeds creative process. Learn more about the process here…
As a dedicated yoga and meditation practitioner for the past 25+ years, I’ve explored in depth the relationship between contemplative practice and creative process. Here are two titles to add to your own library.
Toward a Secret Sky
Creative Process as Pilgrimage
Making art was a natural extension of the spiritual path I’ve navigated for the past 25+ years. Settling the mind enough to learn to see is a prerequisite for an authentic creative practice.
Creativity arises naturally when you stop striving to achieve something.
A pilgrimage is always at the least two things–a literal journey and a spiritual journey. Though it involves a geographical moving about, it also requires a psychological shift of the deepest sort
In a world full of promises for spiritual growth, how does one recognize an authentic path or teacher? Where does one even begin? Roberts responds to this very question by providing a compassionate “roadmap”, full of personal anecdotes, traditional wisdom, and practical advice necessary for navigating the terrain of one’s own spiritual adventure! A kind and accessible book that supports the human longing for a meaningful life.~ Elizabeth Mattis-Namgyel
Toward A Secret Sky is a guide for anyone who wants to develop a connection to their inner life. In it you’ll find practical tips and guidance for embarking on your own journey of personal exploration, as well as stories from the field.
Ashtanga Yoga for Beginner’s Mind
Ashtanga Yoga For Beginner's Mind is a primer for anyone who wishes to learn the fundamentals of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.
This is more than just a book about yoga for beginners.
I wrote this book in response to students who were asking me for a practical guide to the primary series, while also hoping for a clear path to the state of meditation that results from deep ashtanga yoga practice.
