Ancient Tree Of Life Online Workshop

Inspired by the techniques of the Warli Tribe

~ The Tree of Life is a recurring motif in many arts, including in the folk arts of India.

They contain deep symbolism, being embodiments of celestial and vital energies.

The stylisations are many and specific to each craft.

As many trees are represented, from the real to the mythical, from the ashwattha to the kalpataru, the divine tree that grants wishes.

Some ancient Indian texts look at creation itself as a tree. But even without the complex layers of symbolism, it is always heartening to see this motif. The tree, whatever else it is, is a giver of life. A beautiful thing to be celebrated and give gratitude for.
