Practices & Prompts
Every week we introduce creative prompts & contemplative practices with space for deep listening and sharing from one another's spiritual heritages and creative experiences.
In the process we companion one another in the cultivation of our creative and spiritual lives/selves.
Mindful Art Share
On the third Sunday of every month, as part of our rhythm of Practices & Prompts, we gather virtually to share our creative work inspired by the monthly art prompt theme.
We also host an Asia Art Share that meets on the Friday before the third Sunday.
Online Community Space
The online community space keeps us connected in-between gatherings, with art prompts, meetup links, and spaces to share artwork, reflections, and chat with others.

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.
So, why take this course?
To experience transformation and growth
Wisdom from the six religious heritages inspires transformation as we reflect on what makes us who we are, the raw material of life: families of origin, inner doubts, self critics, ways of relating to our creative work, and our hopes and aspirations.
To experience fresh springs of creativity
As we draw insights from religious wisdom and reflect on our own lives, we experience new inspiration for our creative work. Each new piece we create is in turn a way to further process, capture, and reflect on our inner lives, relationships, and our ways of relating to and sharing our creative work in community. All of this furthers our healing and transformation.

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.
Keeping Table Collective
Accessible and Sustainable
We want Table Collective to be accessible to as many people as possible, no matter their income, and to be sustainable for as long as possible (which of course, also means it will continue to be accessible!)
Spiritual communities from every religious heritage depend on some form of charitable giving to be able to offer their teachings, gatherings, and resources to the public. As a non-profit interspiritual and creative community, we also depend primarily upon gifts and grants as a source of income.
