Description

The Artist's Rule: Nurturing Your Creative Soul with Monastic Wisdom Christine Valters Paintner explores the mutually nourishing relationship between contemplative practices and creative expression in this twelve-week course. Drawing on traditions of Benedictine, Celtic, and desert spirituality, she offers new sources of inspiration for artists of all kinds. Through her perceptive discussion and insightful quotations from well-known artists and writers, Paintner enriches themes such as Sacred Tools and Sacred Space, Creative Solitude and Community, and Nature as a Source of Revelation and Inspiration. Each week, Paintner provides suggestions for grounding both the creative and the spiritual life through three basic practices: walking, lectio divina, and journaling. This book is supplemented by online resources, including guided meditation podcasts, video lessons, and discussions, mirroring Paintner's vibrant online presence. Through her work, Paintner shows how contemplative practices can inform and enrich artistic expression, and how artists can cultivate a deeper sense of creativity and purpose.
