Form to Formless

Before Devi can be known, she must first be given a face.

• Explore Devi through your own creative expression
• Create without relying on artistic skill or perfection
• Allow intuition to guide your hand
• Explore colour, form, expression and symbolic elements
• Reflect on the Devi that emerges through your creation

Beneath every sacred form lies a hidden order, waiting to be seen.

• Explore sacred geometry through observation and wonder
• Discover the meaning of bindu, circle, triangle and square
• Explore the lotus as a symbol of emergence
• Create a personal sacred diagram
• Use geometry as a practice of attention

A symbol says what words cannot, and the sacred has always spoken this way.

• Explore symbols as carriers of meaning
• Discover symbols of intention, protection and blessing
• Work with symbols through drawing and contemplation
• Create your own personal sacred symbol
• Explore what your chosen symbol invokes within you

Sound is the first form, the vibration from which everything else takes shape.

• Explore sound as a doorway to inner listening
• Experience breath, chanting, silence and vibration
• Notice how sound changes your inner experience
• Translate sound and feeling into visual marks
• Let your intuition guide the creative process

What you have created becomes the mirror in which you meet Devi.
