ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS
The Meditation & Creativity series is led by three accomplished visual artists who have also worked extensively in writing and music. Each of the facilitators has practiced daily meditation for more than 30 years.  During the third class of the series (focused on music), some additional musicians will join the session. Having offered this series in venues around the world, the instructors have been lauded for their supportive, inspiring approach to helping others express their  own intuitive creativity.

Papaha Gosline first began practicing meditation with Sri Chinmoy more than 30 years ago at the beginning of his career as a professional artist. Combining these two disciplines, he is currently focused on large oil pastel drawings, sculptural installations, and site-specific digital projections with meditative sound and music. He lives in San Diego.

London-based Devashishu Torpy has a strong interest in poetry and creative writing. He has been practicing meditation and offering classes for over 30 years. He is currently the Director of the Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run in Europe, an event that connects individuals and organizations around the world.

Gabriele Settimi is originally from Italy and now makes his home in San Diego. A life-long musician in various genres, he now focuses on “music of the heart” and regularly leads informal sessions performing the compositions of Sri Chinmoy. He brings high energy and enthusiasm to his classes. Gabriele is also an excellent Italian chef!
