Why Back This Project?

1. Cultivate Inner Peace in a Noisy WorldTwelve original works of art serve as anchors for stillness, helping you reconnect with God, yourself, and the present moment. For those of us committed to justice, advocacy, and service, inner spiritual grounding is essential.

2. Spiritual Tools That Travel With YouUse the beautifully designed card deck as a portable guide for personal reflection, group discussion, or in your daily meditation practice—at home, in church, or on retreat.

3. Rooted in Ancient Wisdom, Made for TodayDrawing from Contemplative Christianity and other wisdom traditions, each image represents a time-tested principle that fosters emotional, spiritual, and relational growth through self reflection and Visio Divina—the ancient practice of “Divine Seeing.”

4. Art With a Sacred PurposeWhether displayed as wall prints or held in your hand, these pieces transform any space into a sanctuary for rest, renewal, and reconnection.

A Deeper Look at Stations of the Heart

Hi, I’m Rex Foster.

For years, I’ve been teaching spiritual principles drawn from Contemplative Christianity using a series of simple sketches that have now been brought to life by artist Annie Howe and designer Jennifer Pavlovitz. Together, we’ve created Stations of the Heart—a 12-piece visual journey into the practical, everyday wisdom of the spiritual life.

These images represent ideas like Presence, Unity, and Surrender—not as abstract theology, but as accessible, human practices that help us navigate life with love and awareness.

This Kickstarter will bring these spiritual tools to life in the form of:

  • NA card deck with all 12 images for personal reflection or group use
  • NHigh-quality wall prints to bring peace and intention into your space
  • NWorkshops and retreats for deeper exploration and self-reflection

Stations of the Heart is about reclaiming the sacred in the everyday.

It’s about slowing down long enough to notice the beauty around and within us. It’s about living from the inside out—so that acts of love, justice, and compassion flow naturally from a centered, authentic self.

Contemplative spirituality isn’t just for monks or mystics. It’s for anyone who’s ever longed for stillness in the chaos. For anyone who’s paused at a sunset, shared a vulnerable moment, or taken a deep breath in traffic and known—God is here.

For those committed to justice, advocacy, and serving others, the need for inner spiritual grounding is essential. Leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and Jesus all lived a rhythm of action rooted in deep inner spirituality. King wrote in his book Strength to Love, “Only through an inner spiritual transformation do we gain the strength to fight vigorously the evils of the world in a humble and loving spirit.”

Jesus also regularly withdrew to quiet places to pray, showing us that contemplation is not retreat from action—but the source of it. Contemplative practices are essential for those whose faith compels them to engage the world with love and courage.

Let’s make this resource available to more people, more churches, and more communities ready to cultivate peace, reflection, and love. I’d be honored to have your support.
