Collaborations in the Creative and the Sacred, Inc., was founded in 1980 by Dorothy (Dot) Borden and a group of friends committed to a creative understanding of the sacred in human life and history. Many of the founding members were from the Duke Chapel, Duke Divinity School, and the Duke Dance Department and included Reynolds Price, Ella Fountain Pratt, and Nancy Rosebough. The group, composed both of artists and non-artists, organized a series of summer conferences at Black Mountain, NC from 1981-1992.
