OUR STORY
​
The Awe & Wonder Collective began as a vision immersion into letting go of all boxes and expectations, being completely consumed by intimacy in the presence of the Father. After five years of cultivating presence driven relationship over religion our founder, J. Zink, was inspired to share what she learned. As a creative herself, she began to co-labor with the Lord and found creativity to be the key to unlocking identity in others and bringing them into their own intimacy with the Lord. It is through creative expression that we are able to encounter our child-like faith and truly break through to freedom and so was born The Awe & Wonder Collective.
The collective was established in 2019 with our first retreat for writers of all kinds and expanding in 2020 to creatives, women, spectrum mothers, and mothers & daughters. Our events are generously accomplished through our family of volunteers on the day of while cultivating encounters through creative expression. We have spent years studying, encountering and pursuing the keys to creativity and kingdom identity. We use our giftings and talents year-round to inspire connection and provide safe spaces to encounter the King. Our goal is that the love of God, the sacrifice of Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit be divinely encountered here and through it give you keys to stepping forward into richly saturated intimacy with the Father at home.
Our events are devoted to inspiring next steps for kingdom identity through creative process and encountering God through creative expression. Our desire is to impart creative expression with the Lord and truly encounter Him in daily life. Our encounter retreats will also transform into worship nights, banquets, and retreats for creatives, spectrum mothers and mothers & daughters this coming year.
The process into intimacy
is one of the
greatest adventures
you will ever encounter
in life.
God is still
very much alive
&
He still does miracles!
She first began encountering the Lord through singing and then through her writing. A creative through and through, she is known for her intentional heart, creative connection and the artistic expression behind every part of our encounters.
