John Ackerman is an interspiritual -interfaith minister who follows many paths. The devotional love of bhakti yoga, the flowing way of the tao, the rhythmic experience of being with a body that breathes and drinks and eats biologically, and a living spark of the divine, through which I see the One in each other.

I've always loved creating things, moving objects around and seeing them from different angles, finding something unique in every new moment. Isn't that ability incredible? Life has been going for an unimaginable amount of time, yet we still experience newness every moment. The practice of observation is a vital tool for every kind of art
I've always loved creating things, moving objects around and seeing them from different angles, finding something unique in every new moment. Isn't that ability incredible? Life has been going for an unimaginable amount of time, yet we still experience newness every moment. The practice of observation is a vital tool for every kind of artist, and one of the core practices passed on by creativity teacher John Ackerman.

As a multi-media artist I use photos, drawings, paintings, and digitizations to make my visual art. And I use my voicebox, body, trumpet, ukulele, banjo, piano, hopefully mandolin soon and didgeridoo too to make music that speaks from my soul and sings from the depths of my heart.

Crackalackerman comes from many words, but generally means inspiration, attentiveness, wonder, and wide-eyed astonishment at the immensity of it all, and feeling very small, and therefore feeling very big. That's the essence of it.
