This project is supported by the Fetzer Institute and seeks to identify and learn from a number of artists who have explored or demonstrated spirituality and a deeper meaning in their creative efforts, and focuses on the values of creativity, love, and forgiveness. The primary goal is to create a compelling, educational, and inspiring resource that shares insights and reflections on powerful intersections that exist between artists and creativity. The project itself has developed as an inquiry into creativity, love, forgiveness, spirituality, the inner-life, transformation, and more. It seeks to inspire, motivate, and ground people in these values, beliefs, and practices through the FREE eBook and print on demand publication, plus online presence via this website.
