The Lost Dialogue of Artists: Negotiating the Conjuring of Art
Get PDFThis article examines the nature of the duologue between artist and creative source, as a lost interplay and negotiation within the gestation of the work in a uniquely individual language that can never be fully revealed, translated, or understood by a viewer. The author, an elder, late career studio artist, draws comparisons to sacred language and interpretation positing that the conversations and relationships that form between artist and art are very different from those between works of art and humanity and have never been appropriately examined from an insider perspective. She offers reflections and writings of master artists as an attempt to illuminate the intimate exchange between artist, medium, and creative source

Following the Right Goddess Home: A Silver Tradition of Tending the Soul of the World
No full textAlthough a perennial Golden Chain (Aurea Catena) of esoteric knowledge stretching back into antiquity has received much attention from Anton Kirchweger, Wolfgang Goethe, and CG Jung, a subtler, less literal, and more lunar Silver Tradition (Argentum Catena) linking Near East and West runs from ancient shamanic practice and art forward into Gnosticism, Alchemy, and Earth-honoring ecopsychologies. This presentation will describe the Silver Tradition and the goddesses like Sophia who have guided its reincarnations into the present, where it can help us return to world and cosmos with a sense of reenchantment, appreciation, and love

Mirror Gazing for Cultural Bereavement: A Mixed-Methods Study into the Impact of a Restricted Sensory Environment Meditation Process (Psychomanteum) on Culture Shock in Expatriates
Get PDFThirteen expatriates experienced an individual 2-3 hour psychomanteum process, including pre- and post-meditation interviews based on cultural bereavement theory, mirror gazing in a restricted sensory chamber, art work, and follow-up surveys. Repeated measures of negative affect were administered at pretest, posttest, and follow-up periods. Correlational analyses revealed significant reductions in total culture shock and mood disturbance at follow up. Extraversion, home country, and importance of religion/ spirituality were significant covariates in change on total culture shock scores at posttest. Qualitative analyses revealed four categories of effects: clarified emotional conflicts, letting go, shifted perspectives, and reviewed success factors. The psychomanteum process could be used with talk therapy techniques and support groups for expatriates to facilitate cultural adjustment and improve quality of life abroad
