And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
“Late Fragment” by Raymond Carver
Our deepest longing as humans is to know we are loved. Come explore in poetry, paint, and play- your own belovedness.
Come meet St. Hildegard of Bingen- Mystic, musician, saint, and scholar. She wrote bishops and abbots, telling them they were drying up, and should do whatever it takes to stay “wet and green and moist and juicy”—in other words, creative.
Genesis 1:27 tells us that we are created in the image of God- male and female alike. Incredible! Come explore what it means to you to be a bearer of God’s likeness? What happens when we see ourselves and those around us as expressions of the Divine?
Welcome !
You have found a place you can ask questions,
be creative, swim in the sacred,
and illuminate your own inner wisdom.
Whether you choose to join a small group Contemplative Creativity Workshop, or pursue the ancient soul deepening practice of individual Spiritual Direction -
I am delighted you are here.
Each Contemplative Creativity experience is unique. We begin with a warm welcome to get to know one another, and then ponder a theme through poetry, sacred texts, and evocative images.
Following this "priming of the pump" I'll introduce some options for creative expression ranging from painting, writing, journey card making, to collage and beyond.
Spiritual Direction: Listening together for the Holy
The words spiritual direction can be something of a misnomer.
In one on one conversation together we will look over the movement of your life and listen for the flow of the Holy and your deepest inner wisdom.
No matter what tradition you come from, or where you find yourself on the path I delight in accompanying you on your journey.
Contemplative Creativity Workshops :
three hours of discovery, creative expression, community,and wonder.
Just what your soul is asking for.
