Courses with Johannes Källman
Deepening of Principle seventeen
A course with Johannes Källman on the Seventeenth Principle for Art and Life. The creative process is activated by our contact with Principle Seventeen. During the course, we delve deeply into this principle in the areas of both creation, life and Vedic knowledge. With perspectives of diversity, duality and non-duality. We also highlight the connection between the other principles of Vedic Art, the point of silence, the point of dynamism and Principle Seventeen.
In a seemingly increasingly fragmented world, the seventeenth principle's timeless message is especially valuable. We are invited to experience Principle Seventeen in depth, both within ourselves and together. The course is developed by Johannes Källman based on the Vedic Art method and Vedic tradition.
