The Art of Abiding

in God’s Presence

Spiritual Formation for Artists Shaping Culture

WORK

Contemplative Storytelling

Inspired by the 17th century book, The Practice of the Presence of God, we produce short films, podcasts, and written articles that see simple, everyday moments as a bridge to The Divine.

Experience

Creative Sanctuary

We believe that Beauty will save the world and that creativity is part of our nature. We host events and workshops that are a haven for artists to explore and share how God speaks through their craft.

Gather

Spiritual Community

Beneath all of the content we produce and the events we host, we are a spiritual community first and foremost. We seek to abide in God’s Presence and gather with those who long for the same.
