Altarnativearts: Interfaith + Innovation AltarNative Arts: The Platinum Standard in Spiritual Care- where we empower you to treat others as they wish to be treated. Spiritual, Human. Care & Prayer.

World’s first pop-up care cards for all: Religious. Their Way. AltarNative Arts Prayer cards and Mini Altars are the world's premier line of interfaith prayer cards. They have been developed with the intention of being a tool for connecting, building bridges, and fostering understanding, while facilitating healing. These powerful cards empower chaplains and caregivers to confidently engage in inte

rfaith interactions, and meet patients where they are, while honoring diversity of faith traditions and spiritual preferences. They are excellent tools to build rapport and trust with patients while meeting standards of assessing and addressing spiritual needs within the context of healthcare. These cards can effectively create connection and facilitate conversations on tender topics, helping patients to explore fear and anxiety, grapple with grief, face a new diagnosis, search for meaning and purpose, and make peace with their own (or a loved one’s) mortality. They are carefully researched and designed using sacred images and prayers, with care taken to consult people of each represented faith, for each design. They have been specifically created in direct response to patients’ needs.

In 2017, as a CPE student, I attended my first APC conference in Houston. In 2018, I was a co-presenter for a PDI, demonstrating ways to bring the arts into chaplaincy. In 2020, I decided I would attend as an exhibitor and readied my inventory. I am a chaplain and a poet and an artist. I was told that it was “a first”, asking to be both an attendee of the conference and an exhibitor. Then the pandemic hit. I have since graduated with an MDiv and an MA in Theopoetics & Writing. I thought about coming this year as an exhibitor, but I am celebrating newly becoming a BCC and I want to enjoy that. Art has always been part of my ministry. Some of you already know and use the chaplain tools I’ve created. Teaching hospitals find my cards to be educational and delightful. I’m not bringing anything to sell. I’m celebrating this year, and I am bringing party favors. Come find me in Houston. I have something for you. While supplies last.

There is a flat rock between a couple bushes next to the ramp I roll my kayak down to the lake. There is an elderly woman who once gave me a palm-sized cross at the lake. She has left crosses on the rock for others to discover. I started leaving my interfaith prayer cards there. To my delight, the cards would be gone when I returned. Today I left my Buddha card. When I came off the lake, the card was still on the rock, torn in half. It saddens me that such a hateful gesture would begin someone’s morning. I took the two halves quietly back to the car. May the heart be opened. May the Buddha’s lapis lazuli healing light work to heal the hatred and fear of the one who tore the card this morning.
