Her aim is to make people graspawareness of the fact that it does not matter what happened yesterday; rather, it isabout understanding that one possesses the ability to control one’s tomorrow. “Havingthat awareness is the key… If you know and accept that and take responsibility for it, itbecomes instrumental in changing your life direction,” she emphasises.One dream that she has been carefully cultivating is that of an actual physicalArtsSpa, where you can pamper your artistic soul. “I would like it to be a motivational,inspirational place in Muscat, where you can listen to speeches and presentationsmade by successful personalities, attend arts and yoga workshops, and practicemeditation,” she says. Offering food for the soul, it will be a space to simply de-stressand relax, reading literature about art, photography, writing, and spirituality and tuckinginto nourishing food.The culmination of all theseenergies, beliefs and dreams hasbeen manifested in her book,Face2Faith: A Spiritual JourneyThrough Paint. “I would neverhave considered myself a writer;after all, my mode of expressionhas primarily been through myart,” she says. However, in 2008,inhabiting a space of gratitude,she was suddenly filled witha sense that she should notkeep the journey to herself.“However, the next doubt thatsprung in my mind was: do Ihave enough to write about?”She then suddenly began toview her life as if it was a video,rewinding and reflecting uponit. “I could see the connections,the epiphanies, and began tojoin the dots together,” shesays; more importantly, she wasidentifying this loving source ofhealing energy, which had beenpresent at every key event,protecting and healing her. “Itwas about communicating thatI am a spiritual person with aspiritual sense of art,” she says.She felt that she wanted to share these moments from her life: the art, the inspirationand the experiences through the book. “My desire is to encourage people to thinkabout what they are passionate about, reignite their spirit,” she says, emphasising thatshe would love to show people that dreaming is the most important thing you can do.If you would like to learn more about ArtsSpa or attend Jenni’s Planting Positivity andDeRigours Drama workshops, you can email her at jenni@jennieden.com or call her on98238720
