These hands-on learning experiences will give you a chance to reimagine your calling.

VIDEO RESOURCE: AN EVENING WITH CHRISTIAN WIMAN

"What is it we want when we can’t stop wanting? I say God." Such core revelations are what comprise the latest work of world-renowned poet Christian Wiman. The intermingling of calling and desire, the inhering of the self in our work, the catalyzing hunger of longing -- these tensions form the high-wire of meditation that Wiman treads. Hear this critically acclaimed poet investigate the ineffable essence of God's calling in our daily lives in his brand new work, presented here for the very first time, commissioned under CFW's inaugural Artist Fellowship.
