Outline for the session/s:

In Helena Roerich’s Notebooks, Master Morya says that he wished to endow Nicholas Roerich’s paintings with “the gift of healing diseases” and that the presence of the paintings is like “disinfection” that purifies and heals the space in which they are located – and beyond.

Just as we work with the texts of Agni Yoga as forms within the Manifest World that contain and reveal the primary energy of fire, perhaps it is possible to work intentionally with Nicholas Roerich’s paintings as transmitters of revelation in the art of healing and purifying through the fire of Beauty.

In each session we will engage in a creative meditation with a Nicholas Roerich painting as a portal through to the healing Luminous Light of the Subtle and Fiery Worlds flowing through the painting. We will anchor together in thought, image and word that which is now seeking revelation in the Manifest World.
