Inspirational Arts
Inspiration Art can be a powerful influence for meaningful existence
and positive attitudes in society. For those drawn to art, music, dance, writing,
drama and film, the Yoga Institute of Living Wisdom presents a higher consciousness
perspective on the creative arts. The Inspirational Arts
degree views both artistic
expression and artistic appreciation as creative communication. Students learn how
to become artists not just in a mechanical sense, but as channels for the expression
of a greater reality and consciousness. Building on our foundation course of Creativity
and Self-Awareness, advanced studio classes are offered in The Yoga of Movement,
Music Composition & Performance, Painting & Visual Arts, Drama Composition
& Performance, Dance Choreography & Performance, Film Studies & Production,
Graphic Design & Advertising, and Creative Writing. Students are also encouraged
to complete individual projects and practicums.
The Institute's secluded forest
hermitage provides an uplifting location for study of the arts, and students have
the opportunity to gain experiential training in the rich cultural environment of
the adjacent Ananda Community, which offers a variety of musical productions, drama
and art opportunities. With the degree in Inspirational
Arts students are guided
towards a career as an inspirational arts teacher, as a consultant for art and consciousness
both domestically or globally, or in a profession that includes art, music, drama,
creative writing, dance, film or graphics design.

"The
Creativity & Self-Awareness classes
have transformed how I perceive art and
enter into the creative process. Having
been a professional artist for many years,
these classes have helped me explore
creativity in a more profound and
spiritual way that enables me to express
myself more freely and joyfully."
