REFLECTIVE | SPACIOUS | CREATIVE
Writing & Contemplative Experiences
Our creative lives and spiritual lives dance together.
Some may say they are one and the same. As such, it’s vital to human flourishing that we make space to deepen our creative practice as we remain alive and engaged in the world. These writing & contemplative experiences are designed to help you slow down, to reflect with intention, and to embrace the richness of mystery and creativity available to you in any given season.
tender starts: a mini-retreat on the vulnerability of new beginnings
Virtual - Zoom
Thursday, March 19th, 2026
7:00 PM - 8:30 PM EST
Spring is on its way. As we welcome this season, and the gifts of renewal it brings, we also hold this newness lightly, knowing that emergence is often a vulnerable time.
New life is beautiful, but fragile. Seedlings spring up from the ground in hopes of receiving the nourishment and warmth they need to become all they’re meant to be. We hold our hopes and dreams close, tender, waiting, never knowing for sure what will come.
Emergence always carries a risk. Opening ourselves up to new life also opens us to disappointment, grief and loss. How do we hold our hopes and ourselves tenderly as we step into spring?
In this free mini-retreat guided by poet Krissy Kludt and writer Bethaney Wilkinson, we’ll reflect together on the tenderness of beginnings through poetry, meditation, journaling prompts and (optional) sharing. We’d love to step into this new season with you.

When we slow down enough,
we remember who we are.
