This beautiful art and prose book, Illuminations: Art embracing Awareness, co-written by Frantisek and Jakub Strouhal and Chantal Robert, is a deeply revealing portrait into the authors' inner quest to understand their innermost feelings, reconcile past traumas, find love, forgiveness, and gratitude.

This book approaches the mystery of life and healing- through the various platforms of the beauty of art and prose- by opening one to deeper levels of awareness. It provides a unique opportunity for the reader to learn more about themselves and their interactions with the human society and the natural environment in which we live out our days.

The artistry offers a wonderful means to help anyone to step closer to the goal of finding the key to a better life by slowing down and paying attention to where and who we are.

The authors were looking for expressions that fed the soul and quieted the mind. They distilled into prose/poems the decades of study about spiritual psychology, anthropology, and science. Their intention is to share what they have discovered about love and freedom, but also about suffering and letting go.
