BELOVED ART AND PRACTICE is a ministry that intentionally fosters space for you to dwell in God’s love and discover your call to be-loved. All offerings are grounded in contemplative practices that encourage spiritual reflection, creativity, and whole self-awareness all the while drawing you into the present moment and urging you into deeper relationship with God, yourself, and others.

SISTER MICHELLE WALKA (she/her/hers) is an artist and the Director of Beloved Art and Practice; leading workshops and retreats based on creativity and contemplative practices throughout the Midwest region (and beyond!). She is a sister in the Deaconess Community of the ELCA and is a rostered minister of Word and Service. She currently lives in Minnesota with her husband, Keith; where she loves the sunny spots of local coffee shops and exploring the beauty of the natural world no matter the season.
Creativity and the arts continue to be a vital part of Sister Michelle’s own healing and wellness journey. Her art is inspired not only by visually encountering her interior life through color and movement, but also by the beauty of the natural world. With this, she also finds great joy in creative practices with community; finding that these spaces beautifully acknowledge our collective humanity and are a subversive and powerful act of narrative sharing, healing, and restoration. |
