Divergence Art Collective is pleased to present "Vignette Wonderland", a group show featuring paintings, drawings and mixed media pieces. From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to Peter Pan, humans love stories of dissatisfied heroes in new and magical contexts. Each scene in such tales traditionally functioned as a moral vignette with valuable lessons, but recent pop culture and art has taken the idea of wonderlands even further. Movies with this device include Nightmare Before Christmas, Spirited Away and Groundhog Day. Drawing inspiration from this modality, our show celebrates the transformative power of changing context. With the freedom of a magical premise, our artists have deployed everything from intricate linework to bold dashes of color. Even at their most fun, the artworks exhibit a sophisticated whimsy that is not without dichotomies. If you've ever had a wish come true in a weird way, or simply dream of extraordinary realms - "Vignette Wonderland" is the show for you.

The holy grail of metaphysics is the spiritual enlightenment of the soul. This is the gradual process of evolution and maturity when the soul pierces the veil of matter and experiences God. While God dwells in all of us and is “closer than hands and feet”, the knowing of God is hidden from us until we seek out the Divine. Like the seedling buried deep in the earth is striving to break ground to the world of sunlight and the bounty of nature, our soul buried deep in material consciousness is striving to reach the sunlight of eternal truth. In the 21st century, we are at the threshold of a new era in our relationship with God. As humanity understands the workings of physical nature better than ever, this beckons us to gain a deeper, more mature understanding of God and the part the Divine plays in our life. In this illumination workshop, explore ways to deepen your relationship to the Divine—the fountainhead of creativity, intelligence, inspiration and love. Discover metaphysical tools to better align with the Creator inspiring you with a greater sense of life’s purpose and meaning. Experience auric meditations to elevate your consciousness helping to give a clearer picture of your part in the grand divine design. Workshop conducted by Award-winning Author and Spiritual Teacher Dimitri Moraitis Dimitri Moraitis is cofounder and co-spiritual director of the renowned Spiritual Arts Institute. Having trained with mystic clairvoyant Barbara Y. Martin for decades, Dimitri is an illumined metaphysical teacher, has lectured across the country, and appeared on numerous podcasts and radio shows.
