Klappentext zu „The Experience of Being Creative as a Spiritual Practice “
What is the spiritual nature of being creative? This study is unique in bringing together personal descriptions from practicing artists, writings from the growing literature on creativity as spiritual practice, as well as the author's own understanding as a visual artist. Through descriptions from ten practicing painters who consider their work a spiritual practice, the spiritual essence of creativity begins to emerge. This understanding finds roots as the writings of contemporary artists, creativity theorists, and philosophers from several spiritual traditions are explored. This work elucidates not only the experience of being creative as a spiritual practice, but the felt-sense of creative experience and spiritual experience as well.

Pressezitat
"Peggy Thayer's book is not only a disclosure of the creative experience as spiritual practice but her way of elucidation of the phenomenon can be seen as a spiritual practice." (James W. Kidd, University of San Francisco)"Peggy Thayer's work brings forth a fresh look at the spiritual sources of artistic life. Drawing from contemporary movements in modern art as well as shamanic and eastern views, she weaves a rich tapestry revealing the central core of artistic creation. Her research stays close to the lived experience of the artists she studied and displays with clarity the many facets by which spiritual meaning infuses their work." (Daniel Deslauriers, East-West Psychology, California Institute of Integral Studies)
"Peggy Thayer's work is an experiential study of creativity as a spiritual practice, which ends by showing that experiential research is itself a creative and spiritual process. A sincere and interesting exploration of art and spirituality." (Stephen K. Levine, Author of 'Poiesis: The Language of Psychology and the Speech of the Soul')
