About

“… aesthetic pleasure in the beautiful consists, to a large extent, in the fact that, when we enter the state of pure contemplation, we are raised for the moment above all willing, above all desires and cares; we are, so to speak, rid of ourselves.”
—Arthur Schopenhauer

The Culturium explores the way in which mystical spirituality manifests through the cultural arts. It is devoted, therefore, to showcasing the compositions of writers, filmmakers, artists, performers, musicians, philosophers, sages and poets who have delved deep into the silence within and created work that is timeless, wise and beautiful.

With so many cultural, arts and mind body spirit sites vying for attention, we sincerely hope that The Culturium will offer you a more reflective and meaningful visit, by celebrating a compendium of transcendental and ineffable offerings from our artistic and spiritual heritage.
