Personal Statement:
I know that human beings exist as part of an interconnected, perfect whole. We are each a vital part of this dynamic ‘web of life’. To recognize this, and be able to help foster that recognition in others, is deeply joyful and profoundly healing work. When we recognize our connection with all that is, we enter into a complete acceptance of ourselves, and begin to live in true relationship with each other, with the natural world, and with the Divine.

My own passion is in the power of creativity, and in using my creative expression - of word and sound and image and movement - to evoke and nurture this awareness of our place in the universe, our profound interconnection with all life. Another area that fascinates & challenges me, and is the focus of much of my intellectual curiosity, is the study of art as a language that transcends paradox, or is able to hold apparent paradox without contradiction.

Just viewed the documentary "Rivers and Tides" on DVD featuring the art in nature of Andy Goldsworthy. I would love to know if there is more art out there like this. How profoundly moving and inspiring.

Jalaledin,

Thanks so much for writing! Yes, I found this film very powerful, and Goldsworthy's work is deeply moving. There IS a lot of other work out there that is also wonderful, but not so many of them are being filmed. :-) I recently saw a wonderful exhibit of environmental art in Honolulu, that I reviewed for Gatherings. Have you had a chance to see it? It's in the right hand column down a little way: http://www.ecopsychology.org/journal/ezine/gatherings.html
