Siddhena is a talented artist who learnt from Osho the real essence of creativity. He talks about focusing on how you are moving rather than where you are going; and that fulfilment doesn’t come from the outcome of a project, rather from the creative process itself. Siddhena has the ability to articulate the ephemeral world of art into eloquent English. A delightful listening experience.
Today our guest is Siddhena. Sidd took sannyas in 1977 in a pub in London. Sidd is an artist, designer and teacher who shares his creativity to expand consciousness and sensitivity. He lives in Japan holding exhibitions and teaching creativity workshops.
