POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

When you’re a kid, moments feel like memories even when you’re still living them: The freedom to run, to wander, to explore. To feel like the whole world is yours to discover.

Time slows down, everything feels possible, and even the ordinary feels magical.
The kind of days you wish you could live inside forever.

A few moments from another summer of @atelier.create retreats in Normandy. To lead these retreats is a privilege, to do it with friends is a joy

“A thin place”

This place and these people have changed me for the better. A place of wonder, play, creativity, curiosity, long tables dinners, picknick lunches, clean laundry, dirty diapers, prayer, poetry, belly laughter, faith, art, stories singing, great food and even better conversations.

A few days songwriting in Normandy ❤️

Safe to say that this place, Béthanie, was so much more than I could have hoped or expected it to be. The air was thick with laughter and the atmosphere was thin to the presence of God.

Reflecting on the recent gatherings we’ve hosted as Atelier, what a joy each one has been.

From Call to Worship with Ryan Hall to our mini Cornwall Atelier retreat with Pete Davies, Ryan Hall, Jon White, and others, we feel deeply grateful for the intentional time we’ve shared together. Through rhythms of prayer, worship, Scripture, creativity, and community, we have been blessed to seek God alongside one another.

In the words of Mary Oliver, “Attention is the beginning of devotion.” This captures so much of what we hope to cultivate through these spaces: a chance to fix our gaze on the beauty of our Lord through a variety of practices, creative expressions, and spiritual disciplines.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us on the journey so far. We are excited for the upcoming Atelier gatherings at Bethanie in France this summer and look forward to continuing to create spaces where we can encounter God together with attentiveness, wonder, and devotion.

Without Wanting, by @wearethehalls

I first heard this gem of a song at @atelier.create’s creative workshop last year; and I held onto it ever since. I’m so glad it’s out now (on all streaming platforms!)

Without wanting is a call to intimacy with the Father; a deep anthem to sing especially when you grow tired & weary. Thank you for blessing us Ryan, and I pray you remember the lyrics & melody when you need it most #withoutwanting #ryanhall #guitarcover #davidoriakhi

It was a beautiful time with each other and in His presence

I felt moved to write something about the change of seasons, and was thinking about how worldly seasons relate to spiritual ones. I found some nuggets of truth from the Bible and some wider art to link in with the word of God. He never changes, Jesus’s love never changes.

This is a personal revelation that I’ve been meditating on recently, it is so freeing living in his Kingdom as a child of heaven, in utter righteousness and purity through Jesus’s sacrifice. But ‘seasons’ of life can be hard, but I’m learning that through these times, I don’t want my adoration of him to change, I don’t want to strive for his peace only when I’m feeling anxious or weary. His love for us never changes, so why should ours. I’m growing and learning to not falter under the storms of this world but to remain fixed on my saviour, Jesus. Who took my sin and made me clean, I want to live for his heart, his mission. I’m not saying that things can’t get hard, things can get really hard, but we can live unfaltering just like he is. Thank you for guiding and growing my heart in your truth Lord.

Some beautiful scriptures I found include
Psalm 102:27
James 5:7
1 Samuel 15:29
(ESV)

Wider art inspired by these truths are
Autumnal Landscape by John Constable
The song ‘October’ by U2

This is the start of a new series of posts melding scripture, art and music together, inspired by my time at @atelier.create

Ma famille d’Atelier 💛 @atelier.create

(Don’t) wait until the end x

@wearethehalls walked us through a session on the beauty of writing songs straight from the Psalms; a great way to bring scripture to life, making it memorable through simple melodies.
Our group was asked to create a song from Psalm 16:5

“the Lord is my portion and my cup”

So here is Beautiful Inheritance - by Charlotte, Edye et moi 🎹
