Sokokis Institute
The mission of the institute is the development of the artist through participation in a curriculum of related studies, as well as seminars in the field of neuropshychology and the cognitive sciences. It offers teaching not only in the respective disciplines, but also offers courses that will provide the student with techniques which enhance artistic development, and the recognition of the sources of inspiration and expressivity.
Gilberto Munguia has the conviction that the arts are always ahead of human history in the sense that they reflect the feelings of the time before the actual playing out of historical events. Today, the arts, having always served as the acknowledgement of our inherent relationship to each other and to all of life, once again point toward a new direction. As the new century unfolds, our young artists must go out into the world as missionaries, well trained, and ready to play their role as active participants in the new era of development and change. It is clear that as we enter this historic period of transition, the responsibility that every educational institution faces has become even more significant to the intellectual and spiritual development of our artists. At this most auspicious time, the Sokokis Institute will participate most actively in this process.
Our goal is the establishment of an international center for the development of the artist in San Miguel de Allende.
We will recruit young, talented students from Mexico, the United States, Europe and the Orient. |
