And so now what we are calling ARTifact is now just a skeevy church basement & a vision.
We are hoping to establish a creative re-use center that re-purposes materials to resource everyone(!) but especially artists, educators, students, etc. In addition we are hoping to build an urban spiritual renewal center, where folks from all faith backgrounds can come, take a deep breath, and explore their spirituality through the experiential arts.
This blog entry has some photos of the progress so far. Eventually ARTifact will have its own website & blog, but for now, this entry is for...my mom. my seminary colleagues scattered near and far. folks who might not know that this is the other half of my job @ BSM. my friends who haven't had a chance to stop by yet. and for someone who I haven't met yet, some kindred spirit who stumbles across this entry somehow and says "I've got to talk to that girl!"
I'd deeply appreciate your prayers: for sustained energy and for myself & my colleagues to stay open to the stirrings of the Spirit. I've never been more excited or grateful to do the work that I do, to live into what I truly feel called to do, and your support means so much to me.
love&love,
b
