SUMMARY:Trellis: Guided Spiritual Rhythms | Becoming Fully Alive
DESCRIPTION:There is a moment in every Christian’s life when everything changes. Despite the seismic nature of this event\, it can come about quietly and invisibly without pomp and circumstance. Scripture describes this moment as a miraculous movement from death to life. Theologians refer to this as regeneration\, not meant as a metaphor or symbol\, but as an ontological reality. \nBiblically speaking\, to live is to live by the Spirit who is the Spirit of love (2 Timothy 1:7). This is what animates the Christian life and brings to the world the aroma of life and of Christ. It does not arise from sheer resolve or discipline but from the generous outpouring of the Spirit who animates parts of us that have never come alive. \nOver the course of this two-week journey\, you’ll be invited into new ways of prayer\, learning to walk conversationally with God and to recognize His voice amid the patterns of your life. In pausing with intention\, we rediscover that stillness is not stagnation—it is fertile ground for growth\, authentic connection\, and living more fully in God’s presence. \nREGISTER HERE\n[Goldenwood Collective Members: Sign-up here. Because listening for God’s voice together is foundational to fueling the vision and mission of the Collective\, Trellis is included in your membership. Interested in joining the Collective and participating in all Trellis sessions for free? Learn more here.] \n——————————— \nThe Trellis structure includes: \n\n1 Intro Session: Sun Dec 7\, 7:45-9p EST. (Online experience for theological introduction and time in listening quads. Recorded for those who cannot join live.)\n6 Communal Guided Listening Sessions: every Mon\, Wed\, and Fri 12:35-1:00p EST\, during the weeks of Dec 8 and Dec 15. (Attend live or listen to the 25-min recordings at personal set times.)\nDaily Scripture Meditation and Exercise Pages: Individually in your Listening Book. (Participants are provided with a digital PDF or can order their own physical copy online via Amazon.)\n\nThe communal practices of Trellis are designed to gently interrupt ordinary routines\, creating openings for deeper attentiveness to the God who renews and restores. And because they can be entered into wherever you are\, the journey meets you right in the midst of daily life. \n \n——————————— \n“If a vine doesn’t have a trellis\, it will die. And if your life with Jesus doesn’t have some kind of structure to facilitate health and growth\, it will wither away…The point of a trellis isn’t to make the vines stand up straight in neat rows\, but rather to attain a rich\, deep glass of wine.” \n— John Mark Comer\, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

DESCRIPTION:Join us this December for a reflective retreat led by Goldenwood Institute Dean Makoto Fujimura. \nWe will explore the creative process and the power of attentiveness through the lens of his latest work\, Art Is: A Journey into the Light. Drawing on the insight of poet William Blake\, we’ll consider how the natural world can awaken our senses—inviting us to “see the world in a grain of sand.” \nThis gathering is for anyone longing to see more clearly and listen more deeply in a world full of noise. \n________\nDetails: \nWeekend Schedule:\n \n\nFriday December 12\, 7:30p-9:30p: Opening Session\, with optional Welcome Drinks + light bites beforehand.\nSaturday December 13\, 9:00a-9:00p: Full day of structured group and personal time\, including discussions\, contemplation\, an afternoon public lecture (“Do Science & the Imagination Have Anything in Common?: How Wonder in the History of Science Helps Us See Our World Anew”) with Makoto Fujimura & Kerry Magruder and moderated by David Kim\, and a private post-lecture dinner and talkback.\nSunday December 14: Morning listening time\, worship service and viewing of Mako’s work at All Saints’ Princeton followed by group debrief\, departure midday.\n\nLocation: Princeton\, NJ (exact address provided after registration) \nCost: Choose your Tier – A Pricing Model Rooted in Generosity & Relationship \nAt Goldenwood\, we believe in a gift economy—where our work and giving is not transactional but part of a relational and generative system. Like a root network\, where some trees bear more fruit in one season and others in another\, this pricing approach allows for a shared ecosystem of flourishing—some contribute more so that others may receive\, and all are sustained together.\nOur tiered pricing model reflects this\, allowing participants to contribute at a level that aligns with their capacity while supporting the mission to see work revived by love. We invite you to participate in a way that reflects your own season and capacity.\n  \n1.

Covering Costs (Supported Tier) – $850 + accommodations\nCovers only the essentials—venues\, facilitators\, meals\, materials—ensuring the program is financially viable.

Generative Giving – $1250 (or choose amount) + accommodations\nGoes beyond covering costs\, helping make our programs accessible to others and investing in the long-term flourishing of this work.

SUMMARY:Institute | Why Wonder in the History of Science Helps Us See Our World Anew\, with Makoto Fujimura and Kerry Magruder
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation with Makoto Fujimura and Kerry Magruder\nModerated by David Kim\n  \nREGISTER NOW \n  \nWhat do science and the imagination share? From the depths of geological time to the frontiers of artificial intelligence\, both invite us to look at the world with wonder—and to ask what it means to be human within it. \nIn this conversation\, artist and writer Makoto Fujimura and historian of science Kerry Magruder explore how the history of scientific discovery—from early evangelical geologists to Charles Darwin—reveals a vision of the world shaped not by control\, but by curiosity\, faith\, and awe. Together\, they will consider how that same posture of wonder might help us see anew in an age increasingly defined by data and design. \nModerated by David Kim\, this event invites all—scientists\, artists\, theologians\, and seekers alike—to join a dialogue at the intersection of faith\, imagination\, and the making of meaning. \nGoldenwood thanks our friends at the Center for Contemplative Leadership for their hospitality and sponsorship of this event. \n\nDetails\nDate: Saturday\, December 13\, 2025 \nTime:\n2:00 pm | Doors open\n2:30 – 4:00 pm | Moderated Discussion and Q&A\n4:00 – 4:45 pm | Book Signing and Reception \nLocation: Gambrell Room\, Scheide Hall at Princeton Theological Seminary \n\nTickets & Registration\nJoin us for this special public lecture! \n\n$40 | Lecture + Signed BookAdmission to the lecture and reception\, plus a copy of Art Is: A Journey into the Light\, by Makoto Fujimura\, with an opportunity for the author to sign the book during the reception.\n$20 | Lecture OnlyAdmission to the lecture and reception.\n$10 | Student Ticket\nAdmission to the lecture and reception (book sold separately).\n\n  \nREGISTER NOW \n  \n\nMeet the Speakers\nMakoto Fujimura\, Dean of Nature for the Goldenwood Institute\, is an internationally renowned painter\, cultural thought leader\, and author whose work sits at the intersection of art\, faith\, and nature.
