Mission Statement

FOCUSZART The Focusing Studio was founded to bring Felt Arts to people and communities

Our mission is to communicate how being-in-the word can shift towards meaning and growth through experiential Felt Arts regardless of the quality of artistic endavours

 

Our mission aims to not only promote growth, joy and wellbeing but also to initiate shifts in culture bound thinking, feeling and acting modes

We strongly believe Felt Arts Engagement being a portal for transcultural development

Experiencial Felt Arts activities promote cross-cultural learning from bottum-up right-brain activities. They also work with embodied aesthetics, a field integrating the materalistic and the spiritual realms of life

Felt Arts generate space for the Experiential Third, a place of unexpected wonder, aesthetic awh and deep transformative insights. This space can serve as an antidote to artificial intelligence supported outcomes of cultural arts
