Contemplative Creativity is a new group prayer practice at Christ Church – a spiritual, not religious weekly offering, open to all faith traditions. We meet Thursdays at 5pm via Zoom. Our purpose is to provide a peaceful setting for art and companionship – to explore spirituality through mindful creativity, focusing on process or experience as opposed to product or permanence.
Once a month we will offer an art lesson, followed by 30-40 minutes of contemplative practice – unstructured, non-directed response to the current lesson or a previous one, with quiet instrumental music in the background. Our sessions will conclude with a sacred space for sharing your experience. Four art-making topics will be covered, each over three-month segments: mandala, beading, collage, and intuitive painting. Our non-lesson meetings follow the same pattern.
The Zoom meeting room will remain open after each session, offered for casual gathering – it’s your space, so enjoy whatever you pour: wine, tea, etc. Attendance is drop-in, no registration required.
