An influential voice in both the art world and the broader cultural landscape\, Makoto has authored several acclaimed books\, including Art+Faith: A Theology of Making\, Silence and Beauty\, and Refractions: A Journey of Faith\, Art\, and Culture. Through his writings and paintings\, he invites readers and viewers alike to explore the profound connections between creativity\, spirituality\, culture\, and the natural world. \nAs a leading practitioner of Nihonga\, an ancient Japanese painting technique that uses natural materials such as minerals\, gold\, and silver\, Makoto’s work is deeply informed by his reverence for nature. His art captures the intricate beauty of creation\, drawing attention to the subtle details of the natural world and offering a meditative space to reflect on life’s deeper meanings. \nBeyond his contributions as an artist\, Makoto is a cultural thought leader who speaks passionately about the role of creativity in society. His work challenges contemporary notions of utility and productivity\, advocating instead for a culture that values beauty\, contemplation\, and the nurturing of the human spirit. As the founder of the Fujimura Institute\, IAM Culture Care\, and a former Presidential appointee to the National Council on the Arts\, Makoto has influenced a wide array of disciplines\, from education to public policy\, with his vision of cultural renewal through the arts.

SUMMARY:Trellis | Knowing Yourself (A Two-Week Listening Journey)
DESCRIPTION:As the busy holiday season draws near\, many will feel the familiar rush and bustle that has driven our lives all year. Our fast-paced\, productivity-obsessed culture leaves little time for rest and reflection. Into this default state of hurried living\, the Trellis program offers an alternative – a chance to rediscover the ancient spiritual discipline of wintering through slowing down\, listening within\, and exploring our inner lives. This December\, Trellis will focus on “Knowing Yourself” by embracing winter’s dormancy as Katherine May and Curt Thompson describe—an opportunity for inner reflection\, examining our deepest needs and desires through stillness with non-judgmental courage and kindness. \nWintering involves stopping our rushed pace to gain insight into where our longings come from and allowing for healing through true integration. This Trellis invites rediscovering the gifts of inward focus and community through the spiritual rhythm of periodic dormancy. Intentional periods of stillness can paradoxically lead to personal growth\, authentic relationships\, and living fully in God’s presence—a vision worth cultivating as we bring this busy year to a close. \nThroughout the two-week experience\, you will be introduced to a variety of prayer forms\, learning to walk conversationally with God\, recognizing His voice in your life.  Trellis will guide you to integrate life-giving spiritual practices into everyday rhythms\, transforming and renewing our sense of calling.  Enter into this season with a new structure that provides the space and a community for hearing God’s voice and knowing who He reveals Himself to be in the midst of your everyday routines\, leading to holistic vitality. \nThe TRELLIS structure includes: \n\n1 Intro Session: Sun Dec 8\, 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 12:20-12:45p EST\, during the weeks of Dec 9 and Dec 16. (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 listening rhythms of TRELLIS are intentionally designed as intrusions into your regular daily routines and\, therefore can be entered into from wherever you are. For more about TRELLIS… \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 \n
