The Inayatiyya, the interfaith Sufi order of spiritual freedom active throughout the world, invites you to a conference on art and spirituality. Some great international spiritual leaders and visionaries will share their insights on the proposed theme, a contribution in a difficult historical moment in which humanity needs to rise above ignorance.
Artists are revolutionaries just like prophets and sages. Their creativity produces narratives and stimulates new ways of seeing and understanding. Whenever the world is on the brink of change, artists, writers, and thinkers are at the forefront of opening new horizons for human imagination and thought.
An artist is a spokesperson because they convey the message of divine majesty through the grandeur and beauty of their works.
By stimulating deeper thought and intriguing the observer, art has the ability to draw us into the mysterious depths of our soul, where we have the opportunity to encounter the Divine Artist: Al-Musawwir.
Can we turn to art to learn the wisdom of harmony, beauty, and mystery in the
simultaneous presence of a complexity of colors, lines, sounds, shapes, and structures?
Can we read in art the spiritual activity that creates myths that can guide us along the path of Ariadne's thread? Along a creative path, we must find our way through a labyrinth. We take wrong turns, we bump into walls, we get lost. This happens in order to find the treasure at the center of ourselves, the true magic of creativity.
When we succeed in giving birth to our creativity, we explode with ecstasy because in finding it we have found ourselves. It is the discovery of Al-Wājid: “the Seeker: He who has found and obtained everything.”
