Healing Art

Much of the last 20 years has been about meeting people at The Oracle Gallery. There has been many interesting unfoldings and I've been privileged to meet  many incredible people. There has been a lot of conversation face to face but I've never really shared it with the wider world. One of my favourite days out is going to visit my friend Jenny in Freshwater. It's a fabulous drive along the coastal road from Chale to Freshwater Bay.... and then usually half an hours drive round Freshwater trying to find Jenny's house, which hasn't moved, but I  can never seem to remember where it is. The nub of our conversation as it turns out, was some throw away sentences at the end of a four hour talking rally. Roll back a few days previously. Days in the gallery take on all dynamics. It is like an energy vortex and I always forget that it seems to draw people in at lightening speed. There'll be many quiet days which involve me pootling about or being high as a kite w...

 When we learn to travel dimensionally we systematically devolve until we are unrecognisable to ourselves. Your soul self is broken down until humility remains.

Unfortunately what so often happens - as in the case of myself - is that life has diverted you. School has diverted you. You do what you should and ought. I never felt that I could follow a path that would give me so much ...

The exhibition of free expression has made the gallery look magnificent.  Even the roof rafters are covered in art. The energy is filled with enjoyment. It is vibrant and a very powerful experience to be surrounded by so much creative energy. Most students that have their art on display have healed in some way - be this with confidence, dis-ease, or balanced metal or physical health. The journey that the body and mind craves for self healing is always a free and colourful one. I have had many students with Aspergers, autism, chromosome abnormalities, illness that left them in a wheel chair with limited ability of movement, illness that left them paralysed and so we painted with our mouths and I have had students with no confidence because they are seeking to express their sexuality. Students that were too afraid to speak, students that were jumpy and jittery with nerves. Creativity and self expression with complete abandon is the answer.
