Lecture presented June 29, 2009 Seattle University, St. Ignatius Chapel

Enhancing the Aesthetics of your Sacred Space

Understanding the freeing potential of aesthetics can lead to the development and design of space that transcends the confining capacity of the physical toward a transforming experience of Light and the Divine Spirit. Through a brief summary and sharing visual elements in the exceptional environment of The Chapel of St. Ignatius, Mr. Marshall-Ward examined the basic characteristics of aesthetics that can bring spiritually-inspired life and beauty to our worship spaces. A brief time for group discussion followed.
