“Wild Christian Landscapes”

2026 Beatrice Institute Lenten Campaign

How does it work?

Welcome to our Lenten Campaign! Over the next few weeks, we’ll be posting short meditations on "Wild Christian Landscapes" paired with an Action Item, a way for you to concretely support the institute: our community and our mission.

If you're pressed for time, go ahead and scroll down to the action item and enjoy some photos! But we'd love to share these meditations and give you a sampling of the the sort of conversations we have with our Fellows.

Thank you for letting us be a part of your spiritual journey this Lent. We ask that you give what you can, when you can!

Christianity is an ecosystem—lavish, wild, harsh, and sublime!

Week one: fasting

If Christian feasting is communion with the Divine—why, then, do we fast in Lent?
