Welcome to The Spiritual Arts Foundation

I follow a path of pagan spirituality, but I was brought up a Catholic, developing a strong connection with Our Lady, whom I now recognise as my first contact with the Goddess. Since the age of thirteen, I earnestly studied all aspects of the esoteric, from reincarnation to astrology. I have always sensed the presence of spirit beings, often hearing their voices, or seeing words written by them in my mind. The material world that...

There are two subjects that have played a major role in my life: art and spiritual experience. Both have remained with me, growing in importance and frequency as the years have gone by. My first experiences between the ages of six and seven featured episodes of sleep paralysis, clairaudience, and clairsentience. I took an inquisitive interest into these strange experiences, and after school I would study at the local library, reading through books regarding the...

I am JuliLa! Myself and MaCello (and little LeLe) are the creation of Julia Palmer-Price, singing cellist extraordinaire, mystical musician, teacher and composer of uplifting ditties. To bring songs through is my greatest joy and indeed a privilege and a pleasure beyond measure. Born in 60’s London, with a musician for a mother, I began composing silly songs from an early age. Our good Christian family was locally known as the Von Trapp’s of Sydenham....

A Zen Guitar is one of the creative outlets for Nick Palmer. Based a little West of London, one of Nick’s preoccupations of the last three decades has been the source of creativity. Ask any great imaginer about the inspiration for their work and you’ll get dozens of responses: Lovers, the wonder of birth, transcendent experiences, vast skies. Asked about the origin of their creative energy, most artists don’t know. Only those creators with a...

She works on various projects (including book illustrations) and portrait commissions. She believes creativity is the key to unlocking our inner selves and well-being, and that it connects us to our true selves. Art and self-expression are her core passions. She developed a fervent love for drawing and art at an early age with a special fascination for...

When I was a young girl, I remember going into my local WHSmith with my mum and looking at the book chart for the week - especially the top shelf. I remember saying ‘Mum one day my book will be up there’ to which we both laughed and went on with our day. I still don’t know why that younger version of myself knew with such conviction she’d be an author, but I’d like to...

I am an artist, art educator and spirit medium. I have been able to draw realistically since around the age of five, which coincided with the realisation that I saw and walked alongside many people who were invisible to others. These visions never frightened or concerned me, indeed I found them comforting and good company. There were many other spiritual events in my youth, including out-of-body travel whilst seeing my physical body comfortably lying on...

Ayla Shafer was born on Winter Solstice (December 21st) in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, UK. From a young age she was naturally attracted to the creative arts, drawing and painting for hours and listening to music. Her mother encouraged her to play violin and piano, which in tandem with her attendance at St Christophers, an independent self-governing Quaker’s school that prioritised the nourishing the spirit of the individual, her creativity and enjoyment for the arts flourished. Yet...

The most recent creations by Eugenia Maggi propose a connection with dreamlike and ethereal worlds: shapes, colours, movements accompanied by sounds that represent a soft, harmonic and light dimension of existence. They invite calm, to live in the present moment, to meditation and self-knowledge. Her illustrations oscillate in the spectrum of visionary and psychedelic art, with an altruistic imprint: the search for healing and transformation, both personally and for those who encounter her work. “I...

Colm Holland is a writer, teacher and therapist, publisher of 'The Alchemist' in 1993 and author of 'The Secret of The Alchemist' in 2020. 2023 is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of the English language edition of the global bestseller The Alchemist by the Brazilian author, Paulo Coelho. The memory of that event holds a special place in my life because I was probably the first person in Australia to read the manuscript before...

“To say science and spirituality are mutually exclusive, does a disservice to both” - Carl Sagan. Those insightful words always resonated deeply with me, and by extension the arts (in my case music and sound), provide the perfect medium to communicate ideas which simultaneously straddle the worlds of science, spirituality, and art. I discovered my passion for music and sound via electronics and technology. Growing up in the late 70’s – early 80’s around the...

Jayne’s arrival at the canvas was almost as if overnight, a shift, a ‘stepping into’ occurred. This shift happened in the midst of working with an energy healer for deeper answers to chronic pain and dis-ease, present by this point for more than 15 years. Some years prior, Jayne had explored meditation, oracle cards and trained in Reiki, gaining knowledge of energy healing and the etheric body, and reconnecting to a childhood recognition of something...
