When I think of communal creativity in its most sacred form, I imagine a beautiful Eden-like garden full of abundance, but also full of creativity - strikingly arranged plantings of fruit trees, berries, herbs and flowers, attracting birds, butterflies and other wild life, but also fountain sculptures and swimming ponds, natural fences adorned with poetry and paintings, crafted arbors and porticoes, meandering patterned pathways of colorful stone, crafted benches offering a quiet place to sit and reflect or play an instrument... a heightened aesthetic and mindful stewardship... a divine expression of Creation Care. A sanctuary formed by the many, with each contributor offering their own creative touch, because creativity comes in so many forms, even in civic engagement.
Hi! I’m a recent follower of yours and wondered if you’ve connected with the Creative Arts Collective at Belmont University. They’re doing some fantastic work around the integration of the arts and the Christian story.
Such a great read. 🙌🏼
Love this, Hayley 🩷 grinning at the energetic mosh pit image and loving the communal aspects of creativity encouraged by God
Ah wow I loved this biblical insight to those accompanying Bezalel; this whole post was so inspiring, Hayley!
