Creativity can serve as a catalyst for spiritual growth, expanding our capacity for deeper connection—with the sacred, with beauty in nature, with others, and with one’s own sense of self. At the same time, spiritual experiences often ignite creative insight, imagination, and energy. Nurturing creativity can be a vital practice in cultivating spiritual wellbeing, and vice versa. We’ll consider how individuals and communities might engage both creativity and spirituality as interwoven dimensions of abundant living.

Having relationships with people who are more than 15 years younger or older used to be a given when extended families lived nearby and gathered regularly. They were also more prevalent when attending a faith community was a weekly family outing. Our society today is very age segregated. But these relationships are extremely important for those both younger and older in supporting physical and mental health. In this session we will look at how we can nurture these relationships in the 21st century.
