Reviews

"""This is a thoroughly groundbreaking work that demonstrates how art can be a contemplative way of being and pathway to the Self. It reveals the creative, imaginal side of our humanity to be a sacred ground from which grows the wholeness of both the individual practitioner and the larger community."" - Fran Grace, University of Redlands ""One of the book's notable features is the author's honesty, candor, and openness in discussing the healing benefits of contemplative creativity in his own experience."" - William K. Mahony, Davidson College ""The book's breadth of experiments and useful images in art therapy and meditative traditions is its greatest strength."" - Cliff Edwards, Virginia Commonwealth University"
