Following a fifteen year career in Investment Banking, Annalisa Burello retrained as a visual artist, attaining a BA in Photography at the University of Westminster in 2019. Currently, she is completing a Master’s degree in Anthropology – Religion in the Contemporary World at the London School of Economics. In 2021, the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology published her paper Awakening Experiences in Non-religious Contexts: Expanding the Ontology of Spirituality to Art and Nature as an independent scholar. In March 2022, with two other collaborators, Annalisa launched the Spirituality and the Arts Special Interest Group, a new initiative under the aegis of the International Network for the Studies of Spirituality. The aim of this initiative is to deepen our scholarly understanding of the relationship between the arts and the spiritual realm.

Annalisa discovered her thirst for spiritual learning after reading the book The Artist’s Way, by Julia Cameron, where the author makes an explicit and direct link between artistic creativity and spiritual exercises. These investigations brought her to inquire and later adopt meditation and yoga as a body-mind practice to access, release and sustain her own creativity. Her mission now is to promote the spiritual dimension of artistic practices for the general public and to support the creativity of budding art students through spiritual practices.

In today’s episode, Annalisa Burello shares her insights on the beauty of art, creative energy, and the important role it plays in fostering a connection to our spirituality.
