Workshop conducted by Award-winning Author and Spiritual Teacher Dimitri Moraitis Eastern mystical training emphasizes the highest aspiration is reaching the Ultimate Reality that exists behind the veil of physical life. Buddhism teaches of Nirvana. The Tao teaches of a return to the source from where all life springs. Hindu metaphysics teaches of attaining enlightenment and uniting with Brahman—the ocean of life. Yet in the Western mystical teachings, there is the emphasis on reaching God. The three great monotheistic traditions—Judaism, Christianity and Islam—all emphasize God is the goal of life. As spiritual truth seekers, how do we incorporate these two universal perspectives in our soul growth? One of the glories of the modern age is an understanding that the traditions of the East and the West are essentially different facets of the same precious jewel. By understanding the underlying unity of these traditions, we gain a deeper, more mature understanding of life, God, and our place in the divine scheme. Drawing from The Kingdom of Light Teachings, Dimitri offers fresh insights as to how the mystical aim of God and the Ultimate Reality are both essential to unlock the potential of the soul and serve in the divine plan.

We welcome the new year with the amazing, captivating work of Marianela de la Hoz! Opening Reception: Saturday, January 20th, 4 - 7pm Exhibit run time: January 20 - February 16, 2024 Gallery hours: By appointment only, contact (858) 336-6678 "All of us travel through a tiny world, with an existence that we perceive enormous, but in reality, it is so tiny that it is not even observed by others. And in that minimum dimensional space, events happen, which, due to their relatively small impact, are not noticed; with my painted images I try to make them seen and felt. The duality in my painting is always present, the eternal combination of good and bad in each and every one, the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde within ourselves. We are neither saints nor devils we are a combination of both and this condition makes us humans, imperfect and yet beautiful and incredible. The main goal of my tragicomic paintings is to reach people’s consciousness’s by provoking a critical thinking process, searching for their reactions as a total being- neither pure sensibility, nor pure reason. The magic of art is that what seems to be an individualistic vision of reality touches and reaches the observer, who in turn observes and interacts with what I paint. Painting for me is a necessity." - Marianela de la Hoz We hope you’ll join us in celebrating an exciting opening! For more information visit: sipartspace.com
