A FEW WORDS

For centuries, the wealthy and privileged Western establishment has utilised art primarily as a means to acquire greater wealth, social status, acceptance, and power—tools for control, deflection, and manipulation, alongside various other societal ills. At its best, art served as a source of entertainment at social gatherings, newspaper articles and television shows.

Artists seem to be losing sight of what was once a natural expression of our need to communicate, serve, help, participate, beautify, and harmonise. In doing so, we have silenced our hearts, denying them the voice to express our truths, values, and sense of adventure. Consequently, we risk becoming miserable, lonely, and fearful hoarders.

Artists worldwide have reached a pivotal moment where our everyday actions must contribute to something more meaningful than the superficial aspects of modern life, which are marked by endless consumption, isolation, and general indifference. We need to foster a sense of connection, purpose, and meaningful relationships with the Beauty and Life of this world.

ARTS FOR HEALTH PROJECT

"Arts for Health" is a pilot project aimed at integrating the arts as a crucial element in our lives to enhance well-being. It is designed to offer artistic support skills and a fresh perspective to those whose lives have been impacted by depression, anger, negativity, creative blockage, failure, and fear.

We believe that to creatively participate and serve with love is paramount for our social life.

The recalibration of the creative human mind and soul, particularly after being numbed by long-term habits and other unnatural behaviours, is crucial for the survival of every human being on the planet.

In various forms, art can serve as a valuable assistant, offering the user enhanced focus, dexterity, and a deeper respect and appreciation for creation, while also rekindling a connection with all of life.

​​

Art is a very complex, intelligent, skilled, and inspired way to bring order to the chaos of life. The Philosophy, ideas, techniques, styles, and materials have been tested and mastered by bright individuals over thousands of years, and now they serve as a precious inheritance for all of us to use and share for the benefit of everyone.

Humanity has arrived at a very dangerous crossroads, and we are called to use what we have learnt from our chosen disciplines through the eons of time and break through the oppressive limitations.

Though Arts for Health isn’t art therapy with the strict official clinical psychotherapy meaning of the word, nothing has stopped all forms of art from being a hugely successful means to ease the pain of depression and calm aggression. Every type of artist has experience of this.

What we will do is provide you with skilled art courses and advice, stemming directly from our carefully gathered observations of various techniques and materials. I believe that many artists possess valuable insights that cannot be found in any artistic manual; rather, they emerge from years of personal experience, research, and inspiration.

Our first offering is a three-year unaccredited diploma course in Inspirational Art.

 

This course provides a unique perspective on creativity, addressing questions that typical public institutions often overlook while incorporating the essential aspect of our spiritual existence and our role as spiritual beings on this planet.

 

We will utilize carefully crafted exercises that draw upon practices employed by professional artists for centuries, designed to engage not only our bodies and minds but also our souls in the creative process. The aim of this program is to gather and share insights from artists like myself and many others with the general public, circumventing the limitations posed by public institutions, galleries, and personal creative barriers.

 

We invite you to participate in a distinctive eighteen-day course tailored for beginners. This nine-month program, titled "Introduction to Inspirational Art," will occur over three days each month (two in the studio and one online), specifically on Fridays, and Saturdays, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM when working in the studio and Wednesdays, online from 11:00 AM to 13:00 PM. Classes will be held at the Glastonbury Art School studio. Attendance is limited to a maximum of six participants and includes a one-hour lunch break. We will start with two groups of students. The first group will begin on Friday, September 11, and the second group will start on Friday, September 18, 2026.
