London has more than one river running beneath its streets.
The Thames carries boats and stories on its surface, but another river moves underground — the Tube - carrying people, flowing through tunnels carved beneath centuries of history.
Every stop is a kind of surfacing. One moment you're deep below, held in the hum and sway of the journey and then suddenly you rise into a new neighborhood, a new rhythm, a new possibility.
It's a reminder that movement itself can be meaningful. - join us for our next journey in 2027!

More from our Art House North Journeys last Fall- Announcing 2 trips for 2027 soon!

London overview our first morning of the iconic sites: Westminster Abbey, Big Ben/Parliament & Buckingham Palace. The Palace gardens & lake with paths all throughout are great for a quiet stroll in the city. Westminster is the home of 'Poets Corner' the burial site for Chaucer, Dickens, Kipling, Keats & others- a rare place where art, faith, literature, and history converge in a single sacred space.

Come to Show & Tell to hear from artists as they share their paintings, poetry, writing excerpts, music, stories and short film projects.

—Continuing to share our Art House UK Journey from the Fall. Announcing our next 2 Journeys soon!— more on IG

Charles Dickens wrote with a fierce tenderness for ordinary people. His novels were acts of moral imagination. He believed that art should wake us up, help us see one another more clearly, and stir compassion & reason.

Dickens carried a conviction that goodness is something we practice, not something we perform. His characters-broken, comic, luminous-invite us to notice the sacred in everyday life.

Similarly, Sara often shares from CS Lewis's idea that imagination is upstream to reason. "If you can't imagine something, you won't find the reason to do it. If you can't imagine reconciliation, you won't be able to reason your way to reconciliation. CS Lewis calls reason the 'organ of truth' and imagination the 'organ of meaning' - you might even perceive something is true, but if you don't have an imagination for it's meaning, you won't apply it." (paraphrasing CSL)

For travelers, artists, and seekers, Dickens, & Lewis, offer a simple invitation: pay attention, tell the truth, and let your imagination widen your heart.

In 2025 we launched Art House North Journeys, a curated European group travel experience centering around art, faith, history, pilgrimage, rest, reflection, community & good coffee (ok maybe tea as well 🇬🇧).

In all our years of travel & exploration, some of our most formative experiences have been in Europe. As a family we have invested in understanding the world and it has been fruitful to our lives.

To say our hearts were full at the end of this adventure would be an understatement. 10 days in London, Oxford, Lake District & Edinburgh with 33 new & old friends & fellow travelers.

Over the years these places have come to mean so much to us and we always learn something new about ourselves and this wonderful world we live in: from the writings of Dickens, Shakespeare & Burns, to iconic places like The Globe Theatre, Hadrian’s Wall & the Royal Mile; we walked the streets & sought our own inspiration in the city that formed the spiritual lives of Lewis & Tolkien.

This wasn’t a 10 cities in 10 days kind of sightseeing trip. We build in time in each stop for exploration at a slower pace & wandering, or what we call ‘culture hikes’. We gathered together for meals and times of reflection- including an ending concert with Sara Groves, Taylor Leonhardt & Steph MacLoed in a 700 year old church.

We are going to announce our next 2 journeys for 2027 soon.
