In the Sanctuary of my Soul is an inspired project on a number of dimensions. Cathy Dean’s musical compositions are drawn from, and based upon, her reflections on the essence of sacred and classical writings across many cultures and traditions. Her original music is put to texts as varied as those from the Old and New Testaments, the Vedic scriptures of ancient India and the writings of William Shakespeare. Alongside twelve artists who were invited to interpret these same texts in their chosen visual media, In the Sanctuary of my Soul offers the reader, and listener, a unique and rich basis for reflection.
Cathy was born in the Netherlands and came to New Zealand with her parents in 1962.While completing a BA in English literature she met and married her husband Bruce who is the present leader of the School of Philosophy in Wellington. Together with their family they have lived and attended the school in London, thus meetingthe various artists whose work is represented here. While their children were growing up she continued her piano studies and gained an LTCL in piano teaching. She has taught for the last fifteen years.Her love of music has led her to sing in various Wellington choirs and she is an active member of the music community. The combination of spiritual studies and music has brought this book to life.
