ARTISTS AND TEACHERS come together to present “How Art Heals: From the Scientific to the Metaphysical,” from August 17 – 20, 2026. Artist and metals professor Lonna Keller has gathered a group of eight women artists for this free virtual symposium.

Marni Spencer-Devlin, Vivien Schapera, Michelle Qureshi, Britt Michaelian, Leanne Venier, Shannon Borg, Ahtayaa Leigh, and Kara Goodwin bring both artistic and scientific or health-related backgrounds along with an enthusiasm for improving one’s life.

Along with conscious and thoughtful conversation topics, another important element of “How Art Heals” are micro-training sessions that accompany each talk. Pair education with practice, so you come away with new knowledge and insights.

You can find the full page of speakers on Keller’s website, at lonnakellerdesigns.com/pages/how-art-heals-summit-1. Only registration is required to attend; the event is completely free.
