In this workshop, you are invited to join with other artist creators to create a group art project envisioning ideal community.
 
  • Do you think of an ideal community where you would like to belong?
  • What is your ideal community?
  • What would it feel like to be part of your ideal community?
  • What part would you play in your ideal community? What relationships or profession would you have there? What would you look like there? 
In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the 8 Archetypes of the Life Force Wisdom Wheel (“LFW”).
 
Each participant will make an individual artwork that embodies who they are as an archetype. By putting the artworks together as a group, we will see how the Wisdom Wheel helps us to understand how we relate to our ideal creative community. The group project will be assembled and displayed in the Life Force Arts Ensemble Performance “Finding Creative Community” on February 20, 2024.
 
Art materials will be provided for in-person participants. Zoom participants will be given instructions and a suggested list of materials for use at home.
 

Join your fellow creative community members to create a meaningful group art piece about community.

 

Mary Burton (B.A., SUNY Albany; M.F.A., School of the Art Institute of Chicago) the child of diverse parents (Northern European and Russian Jewish) grew up on a farm in upstate New York where she was blessed to be immersed in the beauty of nature and life forms. Observations of light and dark, trees, the seasons and natural phenomena as well as an ongoing quest for meaning inspired explorations of form and line in drawing, printmaking, painting, videography and video image processing. She has exhibited with the Chicago Artists Month, School of the Art Institute BareWalls, School of the Art Institute Fellowship Exhibition and others. A lifelong searcher and student of mysticism and spiritual sciences, her studies include comparative religion, mysticism, symbolism, yoga philosophy, spiritual astrology at the Temple of Kriya Yoga, A Course in Miracles at Unity Church in Chicago, music studies at Old Town School of Folk Music and New Tuners music theater workshop under John Sparks, as well as working for the Urantia Foundation. Mary is a graduate of the Life Force Arts Shamanic Training program. Mary’s family has been in what is now the U.S. since the 1600’s. Her ancestor, Mary Bliss Parsons, was accused and acquitted twice for witchcraft in Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts.
