Seeking the artist within while learning and having fun
Each one of us contains a creative spark that can be reawakened, as this is intrinsic to us as humans. We are constantly immersed in a flow of inspiration that we can learn to receive and decipher. The Damanhurian Art School can guide you in this process. The school teaches techniques from various artistic disciplines: painting, drawing, singing, theatre, music, Sacred Dance, and more. These practices can serve to bring out your deepest, most expressive qualities. Working in groups, sharing with others and having fun are all a part of this process, along with seeking freedom and expression-which is the main driving force within our human capacities that can make our dreams become a reality. Drawing on the experiences gained through building the Temples of Humankind, Damanhur has created a three-year arts training course. But there's no need for you to dig into a mountain! This course will help you excavate your inner preciousness, discover your true talents and ignite your creativity!
The part of you that knows how to draw from your experiences
If it's true that an artist resides within every human being-and at Damanhur, we believe it is-then the path of the Art School will lead to the discovery of your inner artist.
What is your inner artist?
It's the part of you that knows how to draw from your experiences, imagination and intuition to create works of art that are both personal and collective. At Damanhur, the artist is fully actualized through exchange with others. Even those who observe a work of art or attend a performance are part of the artwork and part of the performance.
The School also offers spaces that are specially prepared for creativity and artistic inspiration, such as meditative walkways, stone labyrinths and spirals in the Temple of the Sacred Woods.
The full three-year Damanhurian Art School program is structured around annual sessions, with the subsequent possibility of a two-year master's degree. You may also attend individual courses instead of the entire program.
