I N C O N V E R S A T I O N
If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else, we must see our neighbors with our imagination as well as our eyes. That is to say like artists, we must see not just their faces but the life behind and within their faces. Here it is love that is the frame we see them in. – Frederick Buechner
Exploring the intersections of Art + Earth + Spirit.
Spirit Taking Shape
Stories from the road shares our Artists in Residency in Wyoming in the Fall of 2024. The time allowed us to explore the open landscape, make art and community in our workshops. We had the opportunity to share thoughts about our Art Improv and the spiritual nature of art.
Third Idea Symposium
Humans have always contested the meaning of a good life, a contest which even (especially?) appears through the pages of wisdom. Our tradition also reminds us that the way forward may not be one or another way or even a compromise, but a whole new way of being. We join the conversation about Third Ideas – those creative, Spirit-led ideas that emerge from tension, dialogue, and mutual love. We are part of a larger conversation that includes community leaders, justice-seekers, and artists to share expertise and the ways in which our work seeks creative pathways for some of our most entrenched problems.

Life on the Wilderness Boundary

Living the Art of Tension
The Spirit of Wyoming asked Chuck + Peg questions about themselves, their work, and the communities they care about. Here they talk with us about their philosophy of Art in the Spirit, nature-focused personal and community projects, what happens when two people paint on the same canvas at the same time, and how to use art as a conversation for spiritual and social change.
