Gardens of the Soul explores the different ways sacred art can expand awareness and nourish the soul. Through her paintings and writings Faith Nolton shares the creative processes of sacred art — both the inner journeying work and the practical art techniques. She weaves together her own shamanic practice and spirit conversations with her skills as a painter and poet. Her paintings uniquely reflect a world of mystery and nourish the soul.


Enter the world of visionary painter and shamanic guide Faith Nolton

Making sacred art can powerfully alter and enrich our experience of the world around us. In Gardens of the Soul, Faith Nolton shares her celebrated “Soul Garden” paintings, pictures that have the power to uncover aspects of soul awareness in a circle of life where all things are connected. By weaving together her own shamanic practice and spirit conversations with her skills as a painter and poet, she encourages readers to explore and expand their own awareness by creating sacred art that nourishes the soul. Whether used as a manual, for inspirational reading, or as a unique art collection, Gardens of the Soul is a rewarding journey that uniquely reflects a world of mystery and interconnection.

“I have followed the way of the mystic and poet all my life. My images, like modern icons, reflect a sacred world where all things are connected. Where beyond the surfaces of everyday life the souls of plants, land, trees, and creatures sing.” — Faith Nolton


Faith Nolton is a poet, author, and one of the most beloved and respected painters of “visionary art.”  She lives in Wales, UK, where she gives creative/spiritual guidance sessions and workshops using imagery and sacred art ways. SoulGardens.co.uk
Our Thoughts 
Something about this book called to me. After reading it I now know why it called to me. This book is about the spiritual journey the author has wondered through. Connecting with her spirit guides and the divine, she's Faith is able to create beautiful works of art. The works of art illustrating the book are breath-taking and moving!

This book is something that I will recommend for others to read if they're on a spiritual journey just as a little bit of a guide as it has some very good suggestions and activities to help you connect with your higher self a little better.


5 Stars for this book! Gardens of the Soul  is available on Amazon.
