For the past decade, Roger Hanson has been studying and teaching the connection between creative processes such as art and varying levels of consciousness. Creative acts stimulate the right hemisphere of the brain, thus opening a direct pathway to the subconscious, including more subtle levels of consciousness that can be perceived as being beyond that of the individual human life.

 

At the widest level of perspective, all is connected and seen as a whole. But at the individual perspective, such as that of the human life, all is seen as separate. We move from the widest perspective to the individual perspective through a focusing of consciousness. One's individual life experience is their primary focus. It is what is held in their individual consciousness. But everything else (beyond the individual focus and part of the whole) remains, and is completely accessible, within the wider subconscious.

 

The creative mind (right hemisphere of the brain), accessed through art, is a portal to the subconscious. And the phenomenon of intuition and connection is actually just a remembering of all that one already is at this wider level. What typically keeps people from accepting their own intuitive abilities is a level of fearful control that art has the uncanny ability to dissolve. Through the methodology that Roger teaches, one can more easily let go of control and open up to all that they are. Simply put, we control who we think we are, but we allow who we really are.

 

The reason that Roger is so passionate about teaching visionary art to others is that he recognizes that intuitive abilities are not a gift for the few, but inherently resting and waiting to be found within us all. It is something that simply needs to be accessed and then allowed. And this is made possible through the creative mind.

 

Experience in art is not required, nor even preferred. Technical skills in art have absolutely no bearing on one's progress through this course. This course is all about the experience of connection that artwork provides.

​

Roger offers The Art of Connection experience through a series of intensive two-day workshops held at various world-wide locations. These are always limited in number and allow Roger to work one-on-one with each student in attendance. And for those who prefer to work from the comfort of their own home, a 10 week on-line experience is available once or twice per year.
