WHAT HAS WRITING TO DO WITH SPIRITUALITY AND ART?

As an author and scholar of eastern religions and art, Dr. Wangu finds similarities between art, literature and spirituality fascinating. In this presentation she will talk about why art and religion provide aesthetic pleasure and spiritual bliss, and how the two subjects satisfy us emotionally and intellectually.  At the end of the talk, Dr. Wangu will lead a fifteen-minute mindful meditation session.  Mindful Meditation unblocks creative flow, reduces stress and increases energy.
