From the June Press Release:

During the months of September, October and November 2009, Betsy Lewis Art Event Productions and Talent Art Gallery are assembling Rogue Valley visual artists, poets and experts in the field to take part in a fall series of art events exploring the "Dark Night of the Soul" and its role in healing and transforming human lives.

"The Dark Night of the Soul" was coined by the 16th-century Christian mystic, St. John of the Cross, who used it to describe spiritual crises. Now it has come to describe psychological ones as well which - once live through - can lead to better health, well-being and authenticity in one's life
