He will be in person for a gallery opening, artist talk, and Q&A on Nov 20th from 3-6pm at South Park Church in Park Ridge, IL.

Episode 6 - Centering Prayer

This is a formational podcast for those who want to practice and discern ways to deepen and broaden our spiritual journey through guided practices, enlivening conversations, and engaging with ancient and modern wisdom. Join us as we invite one another into new ways of seeing, listening, and growing. As the title suggests, we are a work in progress. However you‘ve arrived here, you and we can begin again. We will attempt to balance formation and information; theory with practice. 

Always We Begin Again is hosted by Adam Nelson, a Christ-imitator, a liturgist, a dreamer, a creative from the suburbs of Chicago, but will draw on many voices.
