CANCELED

The Sacred Art of Creating:
An Art Retreat

At this retreat you will have an opportunity to create, whether you are a seasoned artist or afraid of the word "art." You are invited to connect with God in this innate, visual, and emotional way.
Picture
Art retreats aren't really about art at all.

What?
Art retreats are about what happens to us when we share creative space, when we gather around tables proclaiming a place for all, when we dream up and pursue a vision together. They're about encountering self-doubt, fear, conflict, and the messiness of the collaborative process. They're about practicing what it truly means to be the Church—a community embodying welcome and embracing the gifts of all—with pastels and paintbrushes as our guides.


So, then, why art?
Art pulls us back to our beginnings - it roots us in a sacred expression shared by the earliest of Jesus' followers and faith communities throughout time and space. Art forces us beyond our comfort zones, begging us to imagine, see, and create a world anew. Art is as disorienting as it is calming, but through engaging it, we are always transformed.
