Jerry Wennstrom is an artist, author of "The Inspired Heart: An Artist's Journey of Transformation" and subject of Parabola/Sentient Publications documentary videos, "In the Hands of Alchemy.” He lectures and offers film presentations internationally.

In the late 1970s, Jerry was a rising star in the New York art world when he realized his identity as an artist became too small a container and set out to discover the rock-bottom truth of his life. He destroyed his large body of art, gave away his possessions and spent the next 15 years living in the moment, surrendered to unconditional trust. Transformed, he re-emerged a more complete human being and artist, creating an entirely new body of art, grounded in a larger perspective. His current artworks are large interactive sculptures made of carved cedar, mechanical devices and found objects. His art is featured in the film “Mythic Journeys” by Steven and Whitney Boe and his unusual life story is currently being made into a full-length feature film by the award wining Danish filmmaker Hans Fabian Wullenweber.

Yoga is becoming a tool for emotional healing in conjunction with psychotherapy. Why? As our sense organs receive information from all of our life experiences, an impression of the experience embeds itself in the nervous system of the body. The combination of slow yoga movement, breathing and meditation allow the client to relax, become present and unite with the authentic self. This state of being empowers us to view the impression as a “witness” rather than a “judge’ and release any emotional attachment (pain/pleasure, like/dislike, sweet/sour) to the memory.
