Invitation: A Creative Way to Walk Through Lent

This year, I’m offering a four-week creative spiritual direction group for Lent for anyone longing to move through the season slowly, honestly, and with care.

We’ll gather once a week and work on one piece of artwork over four sessions, allowing it to change gradually as Lent unfolds. Each week has a simple theme:

• Releasing – letting go and making space

• Resting – honoring grief, weariness, and lament

• Renewing – noticing quiet growth beneath the surface

• Rejoicing – receiving words of hope as we look toward Easter

Each session will include:

• a short spiritual reflection grounded in Scripture

• quiet journaling (private; never shared)

• a simple, guided creative practice

• generous silence and space for wondering

• optional sharing from the experience of making (not explanations or analysis)

You do not need to be an artist or know exactly what you want from Lent.

This is not about producing something beautiful or meaningful, though many people are surprised by how much they love what emerges. It’s about being present and trusting that God is already at work, even in what feels unfinished.

If you’re tired of striving but still want to stay attentive to God…
If you long for a gentle, embodied way to pray…

You are welcome here.

This group is small by design and held with clear guidelines around confidentiality, consent, and care. Sharing is always optional. Silence is honored.

A quick note about logistics

This group will be offered in person, with space intentionally limited so the experience can remain quiet and spacious. The cost for the in-person group is $30, which simply covers all art materials. No need to bring anything with you.

If there is enough interest, I may also offer an online version of the group. The online group would be free, with participants providing their own materials at home.

If you’re interested but unsure which option might work for you, you’re welcome to reach out or add your name to the interest list.
