Practicing the Way Course
A Primer on Formation
Practicing the Way is an organization working to seed ideas to the western church around the ancient practice of Spiritual Formation - in fresh and innovative ways. The Practicing the Way Course is the first step into the resource library on offer and this 8 part course serves as a masterclass style primer + introduction into Spiritual Formation.
Make it modern yet classic. Timeless yet new.
This project lives at the intersection of contradictions = making old ideas new again and doing so in ways that engage the culture today and yet canl still feel relevant 5-10 years down the road. We worked tirelessly in the development phase of this project to ensure we were starting from a blank slate, exploring every idea and remaining acutely aware of falling into any tired tropes or trends - working hard to create something that is beautiful, clear and can withstand the test of time.
From complexity to simplicity.
Throughout this course, there is an endless amount of what appear to be simple ideas connected to a deep well of some of the best thinking and research from the social sciences, history, philosophy and more. Through studio content from various presenters, short films and animation, our job was to convey the depth and complexity of this big ideas in ways that are clear, simple and sticky. In under a year of release, hundreds of thousands of people have engaged with the course and its audience continues to grow.
When we think about creative partners, Colours + Shapes have continue to set the standard. They have journeyed with us from the beginning, helping us launch something from nothing all the way to building each and every resource we release to the world. They are the best.
