‘Finding Your Spiritual and Artistic Family’: I was drawn to the title of the lecture, I want to be part of a spiritual and philosophical family as soon as I hear about this notion! We all have a need for a sense of belonging and support. It was inspiring to hear, in the lecture, how Deborah developed this idea by talking about her own found family amongst artists whose works and lives had touched and encouraged her own sense of self and direction. She made a point of integrating the artist’s life and creative struggles with their creative output, making a convincing case for the picture of a person’s life and life’s work to be recognized as part of a whole. This made sense especially in the context of seeking validation of one’s own direction and spiritual/artistic kinship.
I would be interested in exploring and sharing with other people, in the context of a guided workshop with Deborah, how I might go further in finding my very own spiritual/philosophical brothers, sisters, cousins and aunts! In the space of the lecture I could see how, as she wrote in the synopsis for the lecture how, ‘Out of this knowing it is possible to have a different kind of modest self-confidence in knowing oneself and doing one’s work.’ That, surely, is worth finding.
Thank you Deborah, for the nourishing food for thought.
I wasn’t able to attend this lecture unfortunately, but I know Deborah’s ability in the context of a workshop.
I do agree with Rosemary that a guided workshop with Deborah on the topic of knowing oneself and doing one’s work, would certainly be of potential value and very attractive!
Any possibility Deborah?
