It is a time to move past some of life’s daily distractions and difficulties to draw near to the sacred. It is a gift of 40 days to seek the Holy Spirit’s presence with more intentionality and creativity as we follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Through the journey of these days – through silence, reflection, contemplation, listening, questioning, singing – through giving up or taking on – it is our prayer that your mind, body, and spirit would find restoration, revitalization, and renewal in the foundational love of God.
Join us this Lent as we journey through the wilderness with Jesus, cultivating more curiosity around topics related to our daily living in search of deeper truths. We will not shy away from the harder and holy inquiries. Together we will consider: Embodied Practices, Make Believe, Simple Living, Active Art and Banned Subjects. Together, let’s get curious and imagine a world where more (beauty, joy, vision, love, God) is possible. |
