Christine Valters Paintner Eyes of the Heart Becoming a Monk in the World and an Artist of Everyday
Christine Valters Paintner, Ph.D. REACE, is the online Abbess at Abbey of the Arts, an online monastery offering classes, books, and other resources to support contemplative practice and creative expression. She is a spiritual director and the author of six books, including The Artist’s Rule: Nurturing Your Creative Soul with Monastic Wisdom, Lectio Divina: The Sacred Art: Transforming Words and Images into Heart-Centered Prayer, and Awakening the Creative Spirit: Bringing the Arts to Spiritual Direction. She just published Desert Mothers and Fathers: Early Christian Wisdom Sayings.
We live in a time when cultivating the contemplative and creative dimensions of life is more important than ever. How do we witness alternative ways of being in a world that demands speed, productivity, and quick answers? The archetype of the monk and artist celebrated across spiritual traditions offers us wisdom to bring more stillness, aliveness, and compassion to the world. Christine Valters Paintner will support us in claiming our internal monks and artists through reflections and creative practices. Together, we will explore the impact on the world of a life committed to creating space for new possibilities to emerge.
