Ellen Corcella welcomes Pastor Tara Eastman for a thoughtful conversation about resilience rooted in faith, creativity, and community. Tara shares her evolving understanding of theopoetics—a creative engagement with God through poetry, art, contemplation, and community. Drawing on the wisdom of Julian of Norwich, she reflects on the famous vision of the hazelnut, a reminder that all creation exists because God made it, loves it, and keeps it.Through practices such as Lectio Divina and Visio Divina, Tara invites us to discover “thin spaces,” those moments when the sacred feels especially close. She reads her poem “Thin Space Day,” which finds holiness in ordinary routines—carpool lines, lunchtime walks, coffee breaks, and daily commutes.As the season of Lent reminds us that faith often unfolds in wilderness spaces, this conversation offers this hopeful reminder: God’s presence even in the most ordinary moments of our day.About Our Guest: Pastor Tara EastmanPastor Tara Eastman is a pastor, podcaster and practitioner of Holy Shenanigans.
