About The Art of Being®

 

What is The Art of Being® ?

The Art of Being® is a remarkably human path of personal and spiritual growth. Touching, passionate, humorous, and celebrative, it is potent in its power to transform and awaken! It calls you into the present and teaches you how to keep being here when old habits would shut you down or impair your wholeness and your intimate connection with life happening here and now.

Art of Being® workshops and courses cut through the intellectual and verbal layers of knowledge and information to the sensing-feeling depths where you can learn to truly befriend and appreciate the totality of your being. They enable you to heal the wounds that keep you limited, open to all your inner resources, celebrate your nature as a sensual man or woman, find fulfillment in your friendships and intimate relationships, and live in an ever-deepening communion with the spiritual dimension of existence. They nurture consciousness, compassion, grace and beauty in the way you live your life.
The workshop themes are those which touch and move us the most deeply: sex, love and intimate relating; our death and birth; and the art of being fully ourselves in our daily living. Whatever the theme, the essence is the same; to be here now is to be in love!

 

About Alan Lowen

Alan Lowen has been creating and leading workshops for 36 years and has established an international reputation as a premier guide for people seeking to accept, integrate and celebrate all aspects of their personal life and being. He studied psychology at London and Oxford universities, then trained in many areas of personal growth, inspired by his first mentor, Dr. Carl Rogers. Later he became a disciple of Osho Rajneesh, and lived in his ashram for 8 years, leading workshops and exploring the deepest realms of human potential. In 1986 he returned to public life and founded The Art of Being® as a path of self-realization, heart awareness, life fulfillment and spiritual awakening.

He chooses to engage with the essential personal themes of our lives - with our nature, our stories and relationships, with sex and love, with the influences on us of our birth and childhood, and with the universal experience of death and dying. Above all he invites us to honour and celebrate our own unique art of being. In 2003 he received the Kindred Spirit magazine award for his work in the field of  personal transformation.

Jan Day, England and Europe

“I have been divorced and married. I have known the darkness of depression, the despair of great loss and the joy of finding my way home again. More than ever, I have seen the basic goodness of life and of people. Forgiveness, meditation, gratitude and the all-embracing life acceptance of Tantra are the core values of my life.”

Jan’s life and work have both been strongly influenced by her own experiences with The Art of Being®. The themes of sexual healing, self-acceptance, forgiveness and loving kindness are central to her life and work.

She trained with and assisted Alan Lowen (founder of The Art of Being®) for the past 20 years. She began teaching Art of Being® workshops in 1999, and has taught extensively in Europe and Hawaii. 

Jan currently lives in England with her husband Frieder and offers a range of Art of Being® workshops focussed on intimacy, sexuality, forgiveness, self-acceptance and life vision. Jan also offers telephone sessions coaching individuals in finding their own art of being. Workshops are currently offered in England, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and Hawaii.
