Embrace Growth at Old City Arts Hub

The purpose of the Arts and Spirituality workshops is to introduce communities to a meaningful and enlightening exploration of the nexus between the arts and spiritual practices. 

It is well known how very liberating and therapeutic the field of expressive arts can be, as the focus was on the process of art-making, rather than the art product itself. In this way, art-making becomes accessible to anyone, because the creative process is central to the journey of discovery, rather than what the final product will look like. The focus of the expressive arts is not on a specific technique or the quality of the product itself. 

Likewise, an often-used metaphor for spirituality is the journey, which evokes a sense of constant movement and progression. We never fully arrive but are always unfolding and discovering.

These workshops will promote the study, development and appreciation of the arts as they relate to established  traditions and lived spiritualties. Our hope is to challenge the notion of what many folks believe about the sacred/creative arts, that they are not limited to what may be found in our traditional “homes” of worship yet they are to be found and experienced beyond and daily! 

Exploring these experiences will form the foundation of the program and through each of the workshops our objective will be to unveil outcomes that provoke musings about the state of physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
