W E E K T W O - APPETITE | HUNGER Lenten Creative Practice . Fasting is one of the central practices embraced during the season of Lent, and likely one of the most complicated. Regardless of how you come to it, at its core, the discipline of fasting connects you to your hunger, your humanity, your desire. . Adele A. Calhoun (creator of the Spiritual Disciplines Handbook -- highly recommend btw) points out the fact that on record, Jesus doesn't ask people to transcend their desires the way most religions do. Rather, he prompts them to name them, asking, "What do you want?" Desire is a good place to start. This week in your work, contemplate this week's theme of appetite, hunger, desire. Name things. Be specific. . Sign up for weekly prompts at www.tgcchelsea.com/Lent. And join us today for our Lenten Poetry Practice at St. Paul’s from 2-3:30! .

W E E K O N E Lenten Creative Practice . “Teach me to number my days That I might present to you a heart of wisdom." Ps. 90:12 . “Death is a strange place to start. Yet, this is where Lent begins: with ashes, and the effort to consider our own mortality. Artists are often willing to lean into uncomfortable truths that our wider society works to avoid or ignore. This week, try to approach these themes within your creative practice. Do certain images come to mind? Memories, sounds, smells? Try to welcome your questions, even your discomfort, staying present to the thoughts that rise up. Use your creative practice as a vehicle to explore them.” . If you would like to receive the weekly prompts and reflection questions in your inbox throughout the Lenten season, head on over to www.tgcchelsea.com/lent to sign up. ✨ .
