We're excited to invite you to a FREE virtual roundtable designed for the creative! Join fellow Christian creatives-artists, writers, musicians, and educators-for a discussion on RISK-TAKING led by Dr. Erin Naler

Date & Time: Saturday, May 2nd at 1 PM

Dr. Erin Naler was reared by her West-Texan parents somewhere between the city and the farm on the edge of Kansas City, Missouri. Her dad taught her to love the smell of the soil, but rarely let her use his tools. Moving to Greenville in 1993, she studied Theatre and Education, but eventually reconnected with her family roots, moving to Texas to earn a PhD in Aesthetics from the University of Texas in Dallas. There she studied the aesthetics of 1930’s American photography and the epic play-cycles of the American theatre. She’s taught theatre and aesthetics for 25 years, performing, directing, producing, writing, and mentoring students’ creative work. She will be studying at Duke Divinity in the Fall and is the Director of Vision for Arbor Institute in Greenville, SC. But her chosen vocation is the making of place—which she’s doing by turning her backyard into a meadow of grasses and wildflowers.

Risk-Taking for Cowards: Does taking a creative or personal risk feel like a choice between success or failure? For artists and makers, obedience to our vocation requires risk-taking. What if our addiction to stability keeps us from embracing healing in our creative vocations? Join other cautious and risk-averse makers for a discussion on the rewards of our human frailty and the momentum that moving towards failure might bring to our vocations.
