    logo_sedonaartscenterSedona AZ (February 19, 2013) – The School of the Arts at the Sedona Arts Center has created a new workshop based on the notion that ‘art is self discovery’ and that creativity is best explored through an interdisciplinary approach. Six artists teach in the new Sedona Art Retreat, an exploration of creativity that invites participants to explore both the inner and outer dimensions of creative work at the same time. The retreat takes place over three days using half-day projects to teach various perspectives on the creative process.

    20130219_sedonaartretreats1 Komala Rohde is the coordinator and one of the teachers in the program. She has been involved various models of retreat over the years and has noticed that the new model for a ‘retreat’ has become more of a hands-on experience rather than a psychological or meditative model. Art-making is the bridge between the inner and outer world for the individual. All the projects in the retreat are hands-on and explore the ways that art surprises, delights and engages our senses and our minds. There was a real sense of synergy with the artist/instructors as they met together and worked with Vince Fazio and Komala to develop the program in terms of the creative path made by the projects themselves.

    The workshop includes: Creative Journaling with Libby Caldwell, Zen Calligraphy with Alok Hsu Haun, The Collage with Vince Fazio, Photographing Essence with Rick Daley, Creating your ‘Lifemask’ with Liz Learmont and Creating a Talisman with Komala Rohde. Komala acts as the coordinator hosting a meeting the evening before the workshops, meeting with students at the end of each day and combines the Talisman project with a final integration of learning.

    The retreat has evolved to create a meaningful connection between all that Sedona is best known for; the beautiful landscape, unique art, and as a place for retreat and reflection. Two Sedona Art Retreats are scheduled for the spring semester meeting March 11 – 13, and May 13 – 15. See the new Sedona Arts Center website for all the details or call (928) 282-3809 or toll-free (888) 954-4442. SedonaArtsCenter.org

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
