The word inspiration comes from the French inspirer, meaning "to breathe in." Breathing in from the Source… then exhaling through creation… is an act of sacred art. Creative expression becomes a visual, tactile, and living bridge between the human and the transcendent, reflecting the source from which all things arise.
This course is an invitation to become more receptive to inspiration and to discover your unique way of giving it form.
About Kohlene
For more than 30 years, I have devoted my artistic life to serving what I simply call the Light. Whenever inspiration comes through, I bow in gratitude. My primary artistic medium is painting. Since 2019, I have been creating paintings inspired by the Dharma of the Center for World Philosophy and Religion. My paintings are not attempts to illustrate the sacred; they are portals through which I listen, receive, and respond.
More recently, I was commissioned to create a painting inspired by the life and teachings of Mary Magdalene — a journey that continues to deepen my understanding of her wisdom and living presence.
Who This Course Is For
Whether you are a visual artist, writer, dancer, musician, performer, or simply someone called to explore the creative path, this course is for those who recognize creativity as a doorway to deeper knowing. Through this journey, you will deepen your trust in intuition, strengthen your creative practice, and discover new ways of allowing inspiration to become embodied expression.
How the Course Works
Each session opens with a contemplative theme and a creative invitation. Over the following two weeks, you will live with the prompt, allowing it to unfold in your own creative practice and daily life.
When we gather again online, each participant will be invited to share their work, reflections, questions, and discoveries within a supportive and intimate circle.
Sessions meet: Wednesdays, 7:30–9:30 CET (Replays will be available)
