The Work of Nicholas Roerich and Helena Roerich
Uplifting Humanity through Beauty and Art
2006 Conference Presentation

Tracing a path of light from East to West, and back once more to the East, the Roerichs were visionaries who left an indelible imprint upon the human consciousness while introducing the energies for a new world in Christ. They believed that Beauty and Art spoke a language that transcended words and united people.  Has their work spoken to you?

Ruth Drayer will share her story of the way her life changed once she saw Roerich's art in New York and some of the serendipity that occurred before her book, Nicholas & Helena Roerich, The Spiritual Journey of Two Great Artists and Peacemakers, was published. Participants will be welcome to contribute their own personal story of the impact that the Roerich's art and/or the Agni Yoga teachings have had in their lives. A short video will be shown with more than 60 Roerich paintings.
