Dear Spiritual Friends,

You’re warmly invited to the next gathering of the Artist-Errant: Spiritual Friends Meditative Art Group, titled:

 Monday, July 21, 2025
 6:00 – 8:00 PM Eastern Time

This month, we’ll journey into the great mystery — the ground of being that has been called Yahweh, God, Allah, Brahman, the Tao, the Dharmakāya, and, in physics, the Quantum Vacuum. Whether spoken of through sacred language or approached in secular terms, this ultimate ground has stirred awe, terror, silence, and ecstatic creativity across cultures and time.

All levels of artistic and meditative experience are welcome. Bring basic art materials (pen, pencil, paint, or anything you feel drawn to).

All donations for this month's group event will go toward establishing the IHS Collection at the Weinberg Memorial Library at the University of Scranton. This collection is an effort to preserve esoteric wisdom for future generations.

With reverence and creativity,
Josh Green
Founder, The Artist-Errant

Dear Friends,

In these tumultuous times, when fear and uncertainty seem to fill the air, how can we remain grounded, positive, and clear-headed enough to accomplish what needs to be done?

This is the central question we’ll explore in our upcoming Artist-Errant gathering.

We’re honored to welcome Rheam El Ruby as our guest speaker — a child psychologist, clinical counselor, and Sufi mystic. Rheam brings a rare blend of psychological insight and spiritual wisdom to help us understand how to care for both the inner and outer dimensions of life during periods of instability.

All donations for this month's group event will go toward establishing the IHS Collection at the Weinberg Memorial Library at the University of Scranton. This collection is an effort to preserve esoteric wisdom for future generations. You can read more here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-mark-stavish-preserve-esoteric-wisdom

Sincerely,

Josh Green

4/14/2025 Artist-Errant Group - Cultivating Unconditional Love

In a world as turbulent as ours, it can be exhausting to have our expectations, hopes, fears, and circumstances constantly shaken or broken. The ground keeps shifting—and so many of us are left searching for something steady, something real.

This meditative painting session is an invitation to begin cultivating eudaimonia—a form of inner wellness not dependent on external conditions. One of the most powerful paths to this deeper resilience is the practice of unconditional love: a love that doesn’t ask for anything in return, that radiates freely from within.

We’ll begin with a simple guided meditation, then move into intuitive painting as a contemplative act. This is not about making something “good”—it’s about becoming present, letting go, and painting from the space of the heart.

This is a recording of an event for artisterrant.com . In today's episode, we will be having a dialog on cultivating attention as the foundation of living a good life, drawing from Buddhist and other philosophical traditions. This is an open conversation—everyone is welcome to participate, ask questions, and share insights.

First will will give a introduction and definition to attention, then I will invite Dylan Ngan to respond and speak on attention from the Buddhist perspective, then Dylan will guide us through a short meditation focused on the cultivation of attention, so that you can learn this technique and practice on your own, Then we will open up the conversation to the group.

In today’s episode, I interview theoretical physicist Phd Phillise Tiffeny Todd on her innovative theory bridging the study of Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness. She discusses that consciousness may be a quality of the Quantum Vacuum that shapes and affects the physical reality. Dr. Todd shares her theory on how this could be possible.

Today’s episode is a live recording of my artist talk at the 92nd st. Y in Manhattan. I am an instructor at 92Y, teaching 6 classes. The talk is titled Self-realization through Artistic Expression. What good is art? Why do we keep doing it? Art Center faculty and painter Josh Green to discuss the purpose behind his painting practice and the benefits art can offer us all. He shares his perspective on the ultimate good in art: self-realization through self-expression. The arts allow us to gain self-knowledge by offering moments of expression and reflection. Many of us never create time for reflection and lose all our energy to worries and responsibilities. Art allows us time to discover our true nature in this brief existence, something many never take the time to do.
