Description

Is there such a thing as the essence of colour? How can we learn to experience colour more intensely? What is the connection between Christ and colour?

Colour specialist Kees Veenman begins by observing the spring gold and the autumn gold of trees, before introducing the phenomenological method, where his research connects with the studies of Rudolf Steiner and Goethe's theory of colour. Using numerous examples and experiments, Veenman guides the reader towards the essence of colours, posing new questions that help us understand the world of colours more deeply.

He also considers light therapy and the connections between colours and the seasons, as well as the link between colour and fairytales. He encourages readers to meditate with and in colours to discover and experience, among others thing, consciousness of Christ.

Accompanied by clear descriptions and colour images, this book is for anyone who wants to appreciate the spirituality of colour more deeply.
