DESCRIPTION
Course objectives:
Express story and poetry as offerings of art and beauty—awakening our hearts to move from a small sense of self to receive the world with compassion, understanding and presence.
Utilize creativity as an expression of liberation—making the sacred visible.
Recognize how creativity may become shut down, and how to open the gateway of creativity to become more free, present and alive.
Practice and express your deep understanding of the Dharma through a myriad of creative possibilities.
The play of sunlight through leaves … the songs of the wind … the arc of a brush stroke on paper. To be awake, reflects Jack Kornfield, is to discover the beauty hidden in all things—and to express that beauty ourselves.
With Turn Toward the Beautiful, this lyrical writer and teacher inspires us to reclaim our childlike wonder, attuning ourselves to the beauty that often passes us by unnoticed. Then, through insightful verses and stories from many traditions, he invites each of us to nourish the artistic impulse in ourselves—to choose to create as an essential expression of the spiritual life. In two compelling sessions, you will explore:
Why beauty and awareness are inseparable, and how they enrich each other
Rediscovering the world through our "child's eyes"
Presence—an essential component for awakening the artist's gifts of receptivity and wonder
How to use writing, drawing, music, dance, and more to bring insight to others
Practices to spark our own creative expression
What if the light that reveals the truth of our lives were waiting right here before us? For seasoned artists or novices of all spiritual traditions, Turn Toward the Beautiful points to that illumination—the beauty of the world that beckons to be received and shared.

Review for Turn Toward the Beautiful
I listened to the whole of this last night, I couldn't stop it was so delightful to listen to. I hadn't realised there would be so much poetry, I would say it was food for the soul except as a Buddhist there is no soul :-) but you know what I mean. Just enjoy this.

As we all know, Jack radiates the Dharma. In this recording, however, he offers a truly expansive gift that will help rekindle the creative pulse in daily life.
