In addition to exploring the spaces above, you may also want to venture to…

• SCRIPTORIUM
  This space is filled with all of my printable artwork and resources spanning the Church year, for all ages! Coloring pages, cards, packets for your liturgical living binder, interactive paper scenes, and more are available to help you bring ancient traditions into your modern life and landscape.
  

• BOOK CLUB
  As a paid member, you can join us for live Zoom discussions (sometimes featuring the authors themselves!) of our seasonal book club selections. Recordings of our gatherings are archived in the Book Club posts, so you can enjoy the replay even if you couldn’t be there live.
  

• LITURGICAL LIFE GROUP BEHIND-THE-SCENES
  We host a monthly liturgical living group, and you’re invited to join (from afar) through re-caps of our gatherings.
  

• MEMBER-ONLY ZOOM DISCUSSIONS & POSTS
  Throughout the year, we enjoy a variety of live Zoom chats with special guests who help to illuminate our engagement with the Church year. All of our discussions are recorded, so you can watch arhives of these festive discussions!
  

• LITURGICAL LIFE GROUP SUPPORT

  If you’d like to explore the idea of cultivating a liturgical living group in your own neck of the woods, I’m here to help support you & brainstorm ideas to help it fit your own life and landscape. I can chat with you via email or the Voxer app!
