Fellowship of Artists

We need each other. Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote, in his book called Life Together, "Let him who cannot be alone beware of community. Let him who is not in community beware of being alone. Each by itself has profound pitfalls and perils. One who wants fellowship without solitude plunges into the void of words and feelings, and one who seeks solitude without fellowship perishes in the abyss of vanity, self-infatuation, and despair. The mark of solitude is silence, as speech is the mark of community. Silence and speech have the same inner correspondence and difference as do solitude and community. One does not exist without the other. Right speech comes out of silence and right silence comes out of speech."

In Waking Up Grey groups, many are finding a kindred fellowship of artist community and support. If you are looking for support in a small, intimate setting, a Waking Up Grey community may be just the thing. Many new groups will be starting in the Fall. To find out how to get connected into an official group led by a trained facilitator please contact me at flyforward@clearwire.net

Here's what people are saying about Waking Up Grey:

"We discussed many issues I had been wrestling with. It enlarged my thinking on creativity greatly." - Betsy

"Waking Up Grey is a fantastic study for artists that has helped me tremendously in my creative pursuits. When I came, I was creatively knotted up, but week after week, Jennie led us through thought provoking insights, I began to untangle the knot. By the end of the 11 weeks, I noticed that I had learned to look at my art from a completely different perspective. Art is something that God is doing through me! I believe this book will be used by God to transform thousands of women's lives through art." - Bethany

"My fellow Searchers are a huge blessing to me - I'm moving forward in journaling and drawing due to their courage and encouragement to me. We have shared so much of the heart, they will be 'Artist' friends forever." - Nicky

"I knew that I had some areas of artistic wounding and being a member of one of Jennie's creative groups helped me find a place to both create art and experience a safe community of fellow artists.The encouragement, healing and growth have been great blessings in my spiritual and artistic life! Thank you, Jennie, for the timely invitation to walk the creative path with you!" - Tori Grant, Artist

"This course has felt like taking a cloth stopper out of a bottle. Little bits of creativity would trickle through but the flow was interrupted. It has also been a means of experiencing God's overwhelming presence through my creative processing. The best part is that I know it's just the beginning. The dam is about to break." - Holly
