The Art Club is a curated cultural platform for people who value depth and knowledge and aspire to become the most evolved versions of themselves. The Club brings together culture, philosophy, innovation, and wellbeing in an intimate setting designed for meaningful exchange. Welcome to “Art for the Soul”, the inaugural event of The Art Club, launching the initiative with two world-class speakers — Rachel Newsome and Mark Vernon.

Prepare to be delighted, step into Elysium — a paradise of myth, imagination, and beauty. Experience transformative talks by Rachel Newsome and Mark Vernon, then wander through a world of paintings, embroidery, floral arrangements, and sound that celebrates the boundless possibilities of creativity.

Rachel Newsome, a leading Jungian scholar, will guide us through Carl Jung’s philosophy in relation to creativity and individuation, showing how archetypes, dreams, and myth shape artistic expression and the journey of self-discovery.

Mark Vernon, philosopher and psychotherapist, author of “Awake”, will explore the visionary work of William Blake, revealing how imagination, spirituality, and mythic symbolism illuminate the human experience and continue to inspire contemporary artistic practice.
