“True art makes the divine silence in the soul break into applause.”

– Hafiz

At iamHeart we witness the profound impact of meditation in opening hearts and unlocking creative potential. Many of our students find joy in expressing their emotions through the beauty of art, music, writing and movement.

Our upcoming event, “Visions of the Heart,” will showcase original visual artwork from several iamHeart community members:

Dr. Charles Palmer

Lulu Manasseh

Allan Tollakson

Patti Ganley

Zarina Holman

This is a unique opportunity to explore the visions of their hearts and discover the inspirations behind their creative endeavors. It promises to be an uplifting celebration of the transformative power of love and creativity, so needed in today’s world.

This event is part of the Creative Expressions of the Heart series that also serves as a fundraiser for iamHeart’s programs and initiatives. “Visions of the Heart” is free and open to everyone, with a suggested donation of $25.

We hope to see you on June 1, 12PM Pacific Time. Your participation and support will enable us to continue empowering individuals to live from the heart.

Meet the Visual Artists

Dr. Charles Palmer was born and trained in medicine in South Africa, where he began his path in academic pediatrics before relocating to the United States. Now retired, he holds the title of Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics. Dr. Palmer was part of the first graduating class of iamU in 2012. More recently, he led a research study demonstrating the benefits of HRM on well-being and nervous system regulation.

Since retiring, Dr. Palmer has also devoted more time to painting, especially landscape and abstract work inspired by nature and inner experience. He finds painting to be a contemplative and expressive practice, and is glad to be part of a community where artistic endeavors are shared and supported.

Zarina Holman is an artist, healer, and sacred space holder whose work is rooted in devotion, transformation, and heart-based living. Her mixed-media jewelry—crafted with polymer clay and natural elements—is an expression of the joy and mystery of creation, designed to encourage wearers to be bold in their self-expression.

She has been practicing Heart Rhythm Meditation since 2020 and is a graduate of the Hurqalya Healing method, which she weaves into her holistic offerings. Zarina is currently enrolled in the graduate program of Heart’s Mysticism. Her life and work are dedicated to creating brave, inclusive spaces for healing, nourishment, and soulful connection.

Lulu Manasseh is a British artist/maker and healer living in London, England. Lulu studied at Wimbledon School of Art and then went on to Leeds Metropolitan University completing a Bachelor of Arts in 3-Dimensional Design. She was awarded ‘Young Designer of the Year,’ by the Royal Society of Arts in 1992. With the travel bursary she travelled and explored the art and cultures of South America, India and parts of Asia. She continues to draw inspiration from her travels..

In 2016 Lulu's paintings were accepted by the Royal Academy of Arts for the Summer Exhibition, and was shortlisted in 2019. In 2018 Lulu had her first solo show at Gallery Elena Shchukina in Mayfair, London. The thread of Lulu’s work is, Communicating the Sacred. She was initiated into the Inayati lineage in 2005 by Puran and Susanna Bair.

Patti started studying heart meditation with Susanna and Puran in the 1990s and it has remained a part of her daily life. The practice helps open the energies within and connect to the energies of the universe to support her visual response to the natural world–a process of deep observation and translation through color and shape. Her most successful works occur during moments when thought does not get in the way and an unconscious flow happens on the canvas.

Patti has created visual art her whole life. Never wanting to mix finances with art, Patti chose a career in education and mental health crisis management, and later, in research, software development, and video production for a non-profit organization whose mission is to design learning environments to accommodate the needs of all learners.

Alan's stone artwork is a "petrified" chronicle of his life - which he began carving in 1975 until today - a 50 year span. Creating art in stone has been Alan's catalyst for deep and nonverbal connection with the outer world, and also within himself - those unexplored depths. Heart Rhythm Meditation, like the stones that engage him, are grounding forces that take him into his body as he hunts for the Divine within.

Going within like this in recent years, Alan has found a treasure trove of meaning and prescience in his past artwork that wasn't available to him years ago, but have manifested into his physical reality years later. These experiences in stone are showing him that this is a living and conscious Universe, while our consciousness contributes to its existence. And HRM is helping Alan to navigate and connect with that life force, the One Heart.
