Imagine a gentler Advent
A devotional group study to create space for weariness, joy, and everything in between
Registration for the study has ended, but please subscribe to my newsletter for future events.
Join us this Advent season as we gather virtually to explore Kate Bowler's devotional The Weary World Rejoices – a sacred space for women to pause, reflect, and find community in the midst of life's beautiful chaos.
Over four intimate weekly sessions, we'll journey together through this meaningful devotional, sharing our stories and discovering fresh perspectives on hope and joy, even in life's tender places.
Friendship and soul care are just what we need this season
We’ve saved a special place for you
Whether you're a ministry leader, artist, busy mom, or creative entrepreneur, this devotional group is your invitation to step away from the holiday hustle and into a circle of kindred souls.
Safety, truth, and compassion
We'll meet weekly in December to dive deep into the study, share our own experiences, and encourage one another as we navigate both the weariness and wonder of the season.
As a special gift, you'll experience the vibrant friendship we share in the Creative and Free Collective community, where the conversation and connection continue year-round.
Bring a friend (or three!) and let's make this Advent a time of authentic fellowship and gentle renewal.
