"Transformation Through Practical Application of Esoteric Principles
The Sacred Arts Foundation is a community of creative individuals living and working together towards the transformation of the human machine and the resulting purification of the essential self.
Community members and guests practice a transformational lifestyle that includes specific individual and group practices, including Movements, Meditation, Yoga, Community Projects and participation in various classes in the Sacred Arts. Living and working together provides each individual with many opportunities to observe one’s self in a multitude of situations.
Members are active as instructors, students, performers, gardeners, parents, builders, tricksters, etc.
The community, founded in 1979, is based in the high desert mountains of the southwestern USA. Since 1979, after years of being ‘off the grid’, the Sacred Arts Foundation opens its doors to those wishing to participate in practical techniques for survival and growth as spiritual beings in a world bombarded with impressions of the ordinary.
The natural surroundings, group work, organic gardens, creative activities and consciously prepared meals all provide for a sacred space conducive to fulfilling one’s destiny as a spiritual being."
This is clearly in contradiction to the description on the Monastery Icons website of the SAF:
“Sacred Arts Foundation is a non-profit foundation created to strengthen faith and encourage Christian devotion in churches, schools, and individuals through a ministry of traditional Christian art.”
