Call to Artists! Express Yourself.

Everyone is creative. That much is true. But a lot of would-be artists lack the confidence to truly express themselves through art. Self-expression is therapeutic and opens doors to parts of your soul that you may not have known existed. Too many artists get hung up on the message, or what they’re trying to say with their piece. The famous question of “what IS it?” hangs in the back of the mind, an ever-lingering doubt that the art one is making is not worthwhile. Well we are here to tell you:

It’s true. Creation for creation’s sake is art in and of itself. The mere fact that you are taking something from your mind and putting it on paper (or literally, any other medium) makes it art. Creating is your nature, why deny yourself that joy because of doubts and fears of it not meaning anything? Just express yourself!

The Philosopher’s Guide invites all of you to express yourself. Make something that is purely an expression of you, your thoughts or emotions. It doesn’t have to BE anything. Send a .jpg of your self-expression art to thephilosophersguide@gmail.com with your name or username for a chance to have your work featured on the site.

And remember, just have fun with it.

Happy creating!

Evolvefest: The New Age Woodstock

Have you been waiting for the next Woodstock to come around? Wait no more! Evolvefest is a four day music and yoga festival in Monticello, NY. You’ll enjoy live music and DJ’s, art, installations, yoga for days, workshops, galleries, great food, central fire and daily ceremonies, healthy products, performances and more.

Feel the oneness of humanity through this unique experience, meet interesting, spiritual and inspiring people just like yourself, and forge tight bonds and friendships with people from all different backgrounds and creeds.

Evolvefest is a camping adventure – and when we say camping, we mean it. It’s a completely off-the-grid experience. That means no running water. Don’t worry though, they’ll have port-a-potties and hand-washing stations. The whole off-the-grid aspect is amazing. What better way is there to get in tune with yourself and be fully immersed in the here and now?

This year’s festival is from August 31st to September 4th. The great thing is, tickets for Evolvefest won’t break the bank. The price for the four day pass is a total steal of a deal, and if you don’t want to go for the full four days, they also have weekend and day passes at affordable prices.

Want to have a completely transcendent experience that’ll stay with you for a lifetime? Then Evolvefest is for you.
