Upcoming events.
OXFORD ADVANCE
Join us for this life-changing journey to the City of Dreaming Spires, Oxford, UK. For one week, you will be immersed in the magical land that birthed such giants as C.S. Lewis, and J.R.R. Tolkien, among many others. We will walk the same cobblestone streets they did, visit the same local spots they frequented, and walk the famous ‘Addison’s Walk’ where CS Lewis encountered the Holy Spirit. We will visit the homes and graves of each literary hero. There will be customized tours for our group, which include The Kilns (C.S. Lewis home), The Holy Trinity Church (C.S. Lewis church), Oxford University (Magdalen College), Blackwell Bookshop, and much more. Mark Stibbe, an award-winning author and dear friend of KWA whose father was mentored directly by CS Lewis, will be joining us. We will have some teaching and training, but the deepest impact will come from experiencing all that Oxford has to offer. This thin place for creativity will inspire you to your next level. Register early, as space is limited to 12 people.

EMERGE TRANSFORMATION SCHOOL: PROPHECY & PAINTING
What does God think about creativity? How does He impact His Kingdom through creative expression? What is your role to play as His creative expression?
When we collaborate with the power of the Holy Spirit, our creative expressions bring heaven to earth to affect change, heal, reform, transform, and bless. This workshop will take you deeper into the truth of your creative role in God’s Master plan to advance His Kingdom through creativity. Together, we’ll explore biblical foundations for prophetic creativity and activate through a powerful creative exercise that will reveal the Father’s heart in a new and beautiful way.
FINGER PAINTING FOR FREEDOM With Jill Wyckoff
A Paint & New Wine Experience
Can God teach, speak, and encounter us through paint? The answer is yes. He can do that and so much more! Our creativity, inspired and empowered by Holy Spirit, is Supernatural.
We invite you to encounter God's power and presence through finger painting. In this one-of-a-kind "grown-up" style finger painting workshop, we'll use acrylic paint and canvas to create abstract art that reveals the heart of God.
WRITING, PUBLISHING, AND MARKETING WITH GOD
In this workshop, we will teach you how to partner with God to write, publish, and market your book! The world is hungry for Kingdom stories and God is not done writing those stories through His people. Come join us for this practical and interactive workshop to be encouraged, equipped, and empowered to write like a Storyteller Champion!
