Mission Statement

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

Our mission is to communicate how engaging with the arts from felt experiencing can shift your being-in-the-world towards meaning and growth, regardless of the quality of your artistic endavour

 

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 as experiencial art activities are a vehicle for cross-cultural learning from bottum-up right-brain activities

In Felt Arts the body is taking the lead in aesthetic activities. The aesthetics belong to the materalistic and the spiritual realms of life and therefore have qualities that open up to understandings of our embodied nature and the transcendent

According to our view, these qualities of the aesthetics are a strong argument to implement Felt Arts in your everyday activites and/or your professional practice for the benefit of your clients
