A room in the West Village, a hundred people who would never walk into a church, and an hour to do what you already do.
Carpenter runs hour-long classes built from two halves. A musician holds the first. A minister holds the second. Neither of you has to carry the whole thing, and neither of you has to explain yourself to the room.
We handle the space, the sound, the booking, the audience and the production. You bring what you'd bring anyway.
Worship leaders, musicians, composers. Thirty minutes, live, unhurried. Hymnody, contemporary worship, ambient and sound-bath textures — the range is wide and the room is dark and attentive in a way a Sunday morning isn't.
Ministry leaders, spiritual directors, pastors. A short passage, held slowly, and prayer over the room. Contemplative through to charismatic. Not a sermon, and not a talk.
People with something real behind them — a body of work, a congregation, a practice, an audience. We pair you with a counterpart and build the class around the two of you, so it helps to know what you'd actually want to make.
We're deliberately broad on tradition. Some classes will sit close to liturgy and the daily office. Others will be charismatic and lean toward healing. Both belong here.
