Liberate Your Inner Artist
At the Art Monastery, we guide heart-centered creatives to dissolve blocks, merge art with spiritual practice, and cultivate a joyful, fearless expression that feels authentically yours.


Are you an Artmonk?
Do your fingers itch to create?
Do you suspect your art-making could be a spiritual practice — sacred, even — but you don’t want to get all up on your high horse about it?
Do you dream that your work could be of service in some way? To proliferate joy, connection, and insight?
Welcome.
You’re an Artmonk and you’ve found your people.

New Moon August 22, 2025
The middle I speak of is not halfway between two poles;
it is porousness that mocks the very idea of separation.
—Bayo Akomolafe
Called to open the night window to midnight city
feel how sound is a palpable river caressing light
splashing current up canyons tickling dark trees
everywhere this polyphonic rush & fibrous dream
moist blue-black air enters sinuous changing me
minerals volatile plant exudates aerate invisible surge
all biology is ecology
just words washing themselves in cold eternal springs
this familial earth
composite of everything
where you sit in the vast grateful seconds
as your tiny you recedes from being first & only
there the coyotes find you with their wild reunion
& you know yourself anew
hungry for what is.
