What is The Inner Project?
The fullness of life comes from being in the present. It takes practice. Like Yoga, art is a direct path to heightened awareness which as artists we have experienced in the process of art. With awareness, comes depth that lies in this active practice and not in the end result.
The process of art is transformative. It engages us physically, emotionally & intuitively. This process of art is healing. The physicality of art – the strokes, the pressure, the colour, the layers draws us into it with such intense concentration that it clears our mind. There is an inner clarity and we can live fuller lives.
We have taken what we have learnt in several years of practicing and teaching art to design experiential programmes that help achieve awareness. These programmes consist of guided triggers to tap into this awareness through various media, particularly those of art such as colour, drawing, writing. They are designed to help one discover the freedom and mindfulness that the process of art brings.
Hope you will enjoy The Inner Project.
