Table Collective is a global community of artists and contemplatives who seek to integrate their creative and spiritual selves. 

 

We gather “at the table” to compassionately see one another, share our creative offerings, and deeply connect with our authentic selves, each other, and our sense of the Sacred/ Divine / Source (however each of us sees that).

NEW COURSE
SIGN UP NOW!

In this course we’re asking, what wisdom might some of the world’s religious heritages have for us to grow as creative, spiritual, and relational people?


The focus is on surfacing insights from each tradition that help you live a creative life and engage in your creative process in whatever walk of life you express that (not just “the arts” as we normally think of them), and in whatever ways you might choose to describe our interconnection with each other and with Source, God, Mystery, the universe, collective consciousness, etc.

Creative people, offering their creative “self” to others frequently hear things or read things like:

     “That is a beautiful painting”
     “I loved your song”
     “That was a powerful poem”
     “That was delicious”

Or, maybe even more commonly, nothing. 

We put our work, our very “selves”, in front of others. But is anyone paying attention, seeing, hearing, tasting? Is anyone experiencing anything? And if so, what?

What if you found yourself in a community of creative people who were actively seeking to cultivate and express their unique voice, and also actively listening to yours?

A community of people who will really listen, who want to receive and experience your creativity? 

A community where you, together with others, can discover and become and express more of who you are?

Table Collective is a global community that creates opportunities to share our creative offerings with others in a mindful and listening atmosphere, to cultivate compassion towards ourselves and others, and experience deepening interconnection with our truest selves, with others, with the world, and with however you imagine or understand what is often called the Sacred / Divine / Source.

 

 

All of this is why we are offering a free opportunity to become part of the Table Collective community as a Table Member.

Our Starting Assumption:
Human beings are essentially Creative, Spiritual, and Relational

 

Creativity and Spirituality come from the same place in our experience of being human. They both bring us into awareness of our own deepest selves, connect us to intuition and consciousness beyond our egos. And they are also deeply Relational because they are experienced most meaningfully in community.

We are creative

It is in our very nature to express who we are and our experiences

We are spiritual

Human beings experience more than ourselves. We are connected to the source of inspiration, however we might conceive of that “More”— Mystery, the universe, God, Spirit, collective consciousness, etc.

We are relational

We are deeply connected to the collective whole of our communities and world. What we create is completed in and with and by community; it is a meeting ground for people of diverse backgrounds, and it connects us with one another, fostering shared experiences and empathy.
