The Convergence office is closed on Monday, Feb. 8, due to dangerous travel conditions. Although lots & sidewalks were cleared, secondary roads are icy; therefore the Artist's Way group for tonight is reluctantly cancelled. Please complete the next chapter, continue Morning Pages, schedule your artist date, and we will discuss all next Monday.

Convergence is a creative community which values the role of the imagination in our physical , emotional and spiritual lives. We are called to engage artists of all mediums and creative people in all professions to incorporate their artistic calling with their spiritual life.
Spiritual Resources
We believe the artist's imagination and rich interior life are of great value. We foster an environment where this is nurtured.
We partner with people who are vibrant contributors to our community to provide holistic resources to foster healthy, imaginative, empowered people and artists. Our classes are geared towards professional artists and beginners.
Space
We are a resource to the person, the Creative. We provide the resource of space at accessible cost in a nurturing environment within which artists and arts organizations can build and grow.
Community
Convergence is a place to contribute and be heard within a larger community where process, insight and experiences are valued.
