Passion & Vision: The Skills of Youth is the first of two exhibits at Life Force Arts Center in 2018 that explore universal wisdom teachings about Youth and Maturity. They are based in the Life Force Arts Method (LFAM), a powerful psychological and spiritual tool for building positive relationships from one’s inner world to the outer world.

Passion & Vision: The Skills of Youth explores universal wisdom teachings that speak of the two Skills of Youth: having a vision for one’s life, and having the passion to carry it out. The Skills of Youth are knowing what you think and feel (the Artist) and standing up for what you think and feel (the Warrior). The Artist receives and expresses a vision about life; the Warrior stands up with passion to manifest their vision. In this exhibit, participating artists have the opportunity to express their personal passion and vision, to express their deepest self as a creator. What is your passion in life? What drives you, what inspires you? What causes do you fight for through your art? What do you want to say to the world? What vision do you want to manifest?

The exhibit features a wide variety of media including painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media and installation. Life Force Arts Center Artistic Director Joan Forest Mage says, “It’s fascinating to see the interpretations that artists have about the theme. At LFAC, our art exhibits create sacred space in which events become healing rituals: performances, concerts, poetry readings, workshops, lectures are all infused with transformative power to heal and enlighten those present.”
