“At this evening art opening and event, Jim Berenholtz will give a talk on the iconography and symbolism in his paintings inspired by indigenous cultures and ancient civilizations. Jim specializes in the creation of mandalas and temple art in rich detail, working with the cosmologies of the ancient Egyptians, Mayans, and many Native American cultures. Each of his paintings is like a book, a visual teaching instrument designed to activate our consciousness in specific ways. Jim will also share some of his neo-ancient music that works in conjunction with his paintings.

Jim Berenholtz is a multifaceted artist who has been training with native cultures in the living wisdom of the Earth for well over forty years. Whether as a musician or dancer, writer or speaker, painter or photographer, he is devoted to bringing forth the organic creative intelligence that is natural to our species. In this way he forges a passionate blend of arts and activism, celebrating unity in diversity and building bridges for peace.”
