May 17, 9:00—May 20, noon
This retreat is an invitation to a greater awareness of the Divine as present and beautifully involved in the ongoing Creation of the Universe. We will be drawn into a new intimacy with ourselves, our God, all beings and all creation, and experience ourselves as co-creators, participating in a loving Universe. As children of a creative God, we will practice painting as a way of prayer, listening deeply, trusting our images and process, discovering the treasures within.
Please bring a journal, an apron or smock, and your favorite brushes if you have them. All necessary materials are provided.
For all who would like to paint and pray; no experience necessary.
