This is an invitation.

This is an invitation to follow your heart.

You're looking at this video right now and

you're contemplating whether to take this course or not.

I would like to say this is a calling,

not a calling just to take a course at the University of Florida.

This is a calling for you to discover who you are and

also invite yourself to the experience that can be transformative and

create meaning and really help you manifest your destiny in your life.

Art, art is about sharing who you truly are.

It's an expression of your spirit.

It's an expression of your humanness.

It's an expression of your wholeness.

I want to invite you to think about what it is you need in your life right now.

How can you use this opportunity to manifest something that you desire deeply?

Something that you enjoy and you want to do and make time for.

I also want to invite you to think about what your heart desires

when you open your heart and make art.

It's as if we open up the essence of who we are and

allow ourselves to discover the wisdom,

the insight that what we truly know to be true within ourselves.

I did research when I was starting the arts and medicine program.

Asking people what was there experience of healing with the arts, and

it was beautiful.

People talked about this experience as if it was something that

transformed them to their core.

So I want to bring this opportunity to you.

I want to bring this opportunity where you can discover

the power of you infinite ability to be creative.

I want to invite you to explore

what things about yourself you may not even know you possess.

Maybe you always wanted to be a painter but

you never gave yourself the opportunity to paint.

In this course, you may discover you are naturally a painter or

naturally a dancer, or naturally a musician, or

naturally you love photography or you even just love listening music.

Or you love theater in any way that you want to share it in your life.

Everything is possible.

Or you love gardening or making food.

I want to invite as arts as everything creative, and

everything that could be the manifestation of beauty and life affirming.

So this course is an invitation for you to open your heart and

discover who it is you are.

And discover what inside yourself is that mystery that's longing to be revealed.

You have a mysterious universe within you.

And when we invite the arts in, we are surprised and

delighted in what we discover about ourselves.

So I invite you to be part of this course.

I invite you to share who you are with me and the fellow students.

And not only when we're doing this course,

we are creating a global community around the world.

Because I really do believe when bring the arts into our life

we are reclaiming something in ourselves that is so powerful and when

we can experiences this for ourselves, we can reach out and show the way to others.

So that's why I talk about healing with the arts not only for yourself, but

it's for others and it's also about reaching out to our community.

So this is a community.

This class is creating a global student community.

This is the first step for you to bring this into your life and

bring it into the world wherever you are.

So I invite you to be with us on this journey, welcome.
