The Unity Center will be hosting eco-photographer Jan Phillips’ exhibition “Human/Nature: The Incredible Oneness of Things” in our Sanctuary Art Gallery at 8999 Activity Road, San Diego. The show will run from October 6 through November 17 and there will be an opening reception and artist’s talk at noon in the Sanctuary. At the closing reception on November 17, Phillips, author, spiritual activist, and founder/CEO of the Livingkindness Foundation will be facilitating a group conversation on the relationship between creativity, spirituality and social justice.
“Jan’s photographs creatively express our commitment to social and spiritual transformation here at The Unity Center,” says Reverend Wendy Craig-Purcell, founding minister. “We established the Sanctuary Art Gallery because we believe in the power of art to uplift minds and hearts and Jan’s images do just that.”
Phillips has been photographing since 1975, using her images to promote peace and justice internationally. One of the co-founders of Syracuse Cultural Workers, she made a year-long peace pilgrimage around the world. She has authored 12 award-winning books and is a national speaker and workshop facilitator. “Creativity has been my spirituality in running shoes,” she says. “This exhibition is the culmination of fifty years of looking for signs of life and hope—everywhere I look I see it.”
