Adam Baltieri’s creative practices want to evoke in everyday life the spaciousness of Being. Although more or less expressing humanistic values, his work may be insightfully approached by reversing the one-sided formula “humans have freedom.” In other words, his creative work is also witness to freedom’s having humans and concerns the Mystery.
Adam studied philosophy and has a bachelor's degree in English from the University of California, Berkeley, and a master's degree in German from Freie Universität, Berlin. His ambivalent academic focus on Martin Heidegger had to do with thoughtfully inquiring into the relationship between truth and freedom, and rediscovering in experience the origin of philosophy. He has spent a decade exploring mainstream and alternative therapies for personal growth and healing, and has wide and varied knowledge of contemporary and ancient spiritualities. At the end of the day, he remains beholden to the Western scientific, empirical tradition and the liberal socio-political order, while nurturing humility in matters of the heart and abiding in the sacredness of that which cannot be explained.
Among other things, including music, dance, and visual art, Adam practices yoga and is simultaneously enlightened and exercised by select wisdom from traditions historically associated with the Indian Subcontinent, the Himalayas and East Asia. He is a proponent of combining Western therapeutic psychology and Eastern awareness practices to facilitate the gracious unfolding of personal life and the integration of something "larger." His practice for trauma-informed psychological counseling and personal growth can be found at https://www.aliveinthemystery.com.
