Creative Art Pathways as a divine bridge came about by Lynne combining her experiences and knowledge as a practicing artist, creative arts therapist and spiritual director. The focus for an artist and a creative arts therapist is be supported in being responsible for their own lives. As a spiritual director, the focus is God being the expert of the other's life. Lynne supports others in their quest for personal responsibility as well as their own understanding of the sacred, living deeply with mystery and ongoing revelations within themselves. When processing life experiences through creative expression, we open ourselves up to the movement of the Divine bridge within us.

"Over these past years I have worked as an Art Therapist and also as a Spiritual Director.
At times I exercised these roles separately; at other times together.
When asked: "How do you distinguish psychotherapy from spiritual direction?"
my response has been, "By the intention and statement of the person who comes to see me."
Jacqueline Fehlner & Sr. Michael, C.S.C., 'In the Green Space', Bridging Spiritual Direction and Relational Psychotherapythrough Spontaneous Artwork, April 2001, St. Michael House in Oakville.
We are created to use “the entire gamut of human responses to reality – interest, love, every kind of creativity, enjoyment, together with inner responses such as the acceptance or not of situations, and the meanings we are free to confer on these, etc.”
Michael Ivens, SJ Understanding the Spiritual Exercises, p 30-31
Finding God in all thing, creating is one sacred gift in my life. Creativity fits easily into the First Principle and Foundation of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises. Contemplative arts is life giving for my soul and for others’ souls within all the ecosystem.
