Laura Marshall is an artist, philosopher, and teacher whose work bridges art, spirituality, and philosophy. Influenced by the discipline of Western drawing and painting, the contemplative practices of Tibetan Buddhism, and the living traditions of world art, Laura explores perception as both creative practice and path of wisdom.

With a Ph.D. in Mythological Studies from Pacifica Graduate Institute, Laura has taught at Naropa University and exhibited internationally, while also illustrating works by authors such as Ursula Le Guin. Their teaching invites participants to see art and philosophy as ways of engaging deeply with the nature of mind and the hidden patterns of reality.

For this class on the I Ching, Laura draws on her lifelong study of symbols, myth, and vision to open a dialogue between ancient wisdom and contemporary practice—guiding students to approach the oracle as both a spiritual and creative companion.
