Would this be a place to speak about guests for Samara, as there were some people who kind of influenced Samara in many ways, Rich Bartlett, Emily etc.

Roz: I'm not sure about the value added by this page. I love the gorgeous synchronicity of Joachim seeing the Hilma af Klint Alterpiece, but the title "The Faces of Samara" doesn't quite seem to connect with that, and at the moment we only have one Face of Samara. We could possibly move the Postscript about Gabriele Seewald to this page? It's currently on 

Hilma Af Klint

Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) was a Swedish painter and mystic whose paintings resonate in a strange way with Samara. Her work predates the first purely abstract compositions by Kandinsky, Klee or Mondrian (!) and we came across Hilma Af Klint after the first call with conscious coach, Emily Lane, who uses the image known as Group X, No. 1, Altarpiece (1915) in her work to represent the yin (the circle) and yang (the triangle), and has a print hanging on the wall behind her during video calls.

Below are some highlights of Hilma af Klint's work - be sure to view the introductory video in the presentation.

Joachim Stroh happened to see the exhibition at the Guggenheim in New York City at that time and stood (for several minutes) in front of the very same painting that Emily Lane had used to explain the Being and Doing energies of Samara. 

According to this website, "The three Altarpiece works were the final series in the 'Paintings of the Temple' collection and are possibly inspired by Theosophy’s version of evolutionary theory, in which evolution occurs in two directions, elevating from the physical to the spiritual and descending from the divine to the material world."
