The goal of The Faith-ing Project is to enrich your spiritual life. Our hope is that this might be a gymnasium for the soul; a library for the spirit; and a toy store for the psyche.
On January 20th, The Faith-ing Project will be joining with The Pilgrimage. In place of a January email campaign, we will be joining that community for a 3-week exploration called ‘God Breathed.’ 1 spiritual reading and 2 exercises will be posted each week. The Pilgrimage’s Mighty Networks platform features some great opportunities to connect. I hope you will join us. To join this free oppurtunity, email otherjeffcampbell7@gmail.com or fill out the contact form on this page.

So Glad to have stumbled on this site. Might you someday include practices involving art? Mandala drawing, non-dominant hand sketching, etc?

That’s a wonderful suggestion! I have a backlog of practices I am slowly incorporating here, but my experience ends at contemplating already completed paintings and stuff. I know some of the theories on mandalas, but I have never heard of non-dominant sketching. I am really eager for suggestions, resources, tips, and the like…. So please feel free to share! (At some point I am going to work out an area of the site for user-driven activities. But I don’t have those details quite worked out.)
