Wow!! It’s Day four of the Kickstarter effort to make my first abum in ten years. There are twelve songs on it, none of which I have recorded before, and there are musicians from all over the world playing on the record. Literally. Every inhabited continent is represented.

A Poem: “Creation”
This morning I woke up at Ferncliff, a beautiful gathering space just west of Little Rock, Arkansas. In a few hours, retreat participants will arrive and we will spend a weekend together, exploring where we are from, where we are now, where we would like to go, and how best to get there. And, of […]
Happy anniversary Rosa
Sixty years ago today, Rosa Parks was arrested for the first (but not last) time. We often tell the story of her famous arrest with so much of the story carved away that it almost ceases to be a true accounting, and sometimes we include a few outright falsehoods. Mrs. Parks was unquestionably a […]
Two upcoming retreats — rest, renewal, discernment and community
“David LaMotte is a very good partner in this important work both for our world and for the human soul.” — Richard Rohr, author of The Naked Now, and Falling Upward David has two retreats on the calendar for the Spring—a weekend retreat in Little Rock in March, and an eight-day retreat with Gareth Higgins in […]

Today the rebel flag will be removed from the Capitol grounds of South Carolina. The South Carolina House and Senate, by overwhelming majorities in both houses, voted to take it down this week, and Governor Haley signed the bill yesterday. I’m a Southerner. My father’s father’s father’s father was one Thomas Jefferson Talley LaMotte, who […]
Eight places left at my retreat — want to come?
I have been invited by others to lead retreats and conferences in many states and on several continents for many years, but I have never before designed my own event so that I can give people who come for the weekend the richest and most wonderful experience I can come up with. Until now. This […]
Box Sets back in stock
After a bit of time revising and updating the content on the USB box sets, we are happy to report that they are back in stock. These digital box sets contain… well, pretty much everything I’ve ever done. High quality MP3 versions of all eleven CDs (including liner notes, and my very first recording, Barefoot, […]
The Three Davids Ride Again!
We had so much fun at our sold-out show in Asheville in February that we were all eager to book another one — but where to play next? Clearly, what we needed was a concert promoter named David. Happily, concert promoter David Sardinha is the curator of a wonderful concert series in Cary, North Carolina, an […]
