Glistening Hope: a Sacred Conversation

Life, a journey of whispers; Whispers of the heart. Spirit speaks, soul searches; Spirit stills soul’s searches. Being and body moves, senses, smells, hears, touches, tastes, sees; Experiences, connects…meaning.

How am I interpreting these experiences? What moments, events, wounds, feelings, awareness, truths? What meaning do these experiences bring? How do I understand myself and my purpose? Given my understanding, what choices do I make as I move through life?

Retreat. Reflect. Repair. Refresh. Restore. Return.

Sacred conversation brings a Glistening Hope to us, each one precious. Contemplation is the birth place of these sacred conversations, the slowing and stilling, reflecting, feeling, thinking, sensing, knowing. The conversation within begins in silence. To still and quieten, to listen…this is the place where soul and Spirit speak, and our heart’s ear can learn to tune in to hear. This is the place for reflection, reparation, restoration… redemption.

Contemplation, a definition; to admire something and to think about it. “Contemplatio”, comes from the Latin word “templum”, which means “to cut” or “to cut out, or reserve a space”. Christie’s exhibition Sacred Conversation; A Glistening Hope is your ‘Templum’. A place cut out and reserved for you to admire the artworks and think about them, your life and the larger story of life.

An exhibition program has been designed to help you move into contemplation of the artworks and engage with the exhibition, yourself and others more deeply. Throughout the evening you’re invited to enter the gallery space as often as you’d like, feel free to come and go; to engage with an artwork for a period of time and use the reflection questions within the booklet. This booklet is yours to keep, a record of this moment in time in your life as you reflect on where you are at. The evening is set apart for contemplation, reflection and conversation.

The exhibition is open for the month of May and you are invited to come and visit as many times as you like and/or need too, bring your booklet with you and continue your contemplative journey.

May Sacred Conversation; A Glistening Hope enrich and refresh you as you engage in a deeper way with yourself, others, the world and the Other
