3 Creative Practices to Spark the Journey Within

How can creative practices serve as a tool on your journey?

I’m in the final stages of preparation for my upcoming Creation Pilgrimage in the Pacific Northwest, fully immersed in the revelations of creation and the creativity it inspires. As image-bearers of the Divine and co-creators with the Sacred, we are hard-wired to create. And just as creation can be seen as theophany or God-showings, tapping into our own creativity has a way of revealing what’s hidden deep within and illuminating the path we should take.

Below you’ll find 3 creative practices to spark your journey within in your pilgrimages both at home and abroad. However, one thing should be clear as you approach these practices: They are not meant to be planned out as if striving for perfection; the point of these exercises is to listen deep within, follow your intuitive impulses, and let your response flow freely as you work in tandem with the Sacred Guide.

Pilgrim Podcast 10: (In)Fertility Journeys

There are journeys in life that we plan and look forward to with anticipation, and then there are the journeys that life brings us.

For me, these past few years have taken me on a journey through infertility, and I’m not alone. One in eight couples experience infertility and/or pregnancy loss, and it’s a story that’s often untold, making the journey all the more isolating. In today’s extended episode, I’m sharing my own journey and also interviewing author Breanna Chud and therapist and priest Danae Ashley about their fertility journeys as well.

Whether or not you’re struggling with infertility, this episode is for you, because we all likely know someone who is, and one thing is certain: we all need tender and compassionate companions who are willing to journey with us wherever the road might lead.

Join me on pilgrimage May 19-25 in the beautiful Pacific Northwest as we seek to know more of the Divine and ourselves through God’s first revelation: Creation. Inspired by the seven days of the Creation Narrative, we will draw from creation as our text and the creative impulse as our guide, listening for the gentle stirrings of the Sacred and the True Self each step of the way.

You can also donate to the Pilgrimage Scholarship Fund to support the journey of another. Scholarship applications are due by February 9, 2018.
