Your life is sacred. Your inner world with God contains wells of mystery and beauty. In this weekend retreat we will gather to listen deeply and creatively explore the depths of our life in the Holy. We will practice discernment, labyrinth walking, and art journaling as intuitive ways to help us cultivate our inner wisdom and develop our capacity for revelation.

A note about artmaking: we are approaching artmaking as prayer and self-reflection. We have all kinds of tricks up our sleeves to help you relax and meet any anxiety or resistance with kindness. This is a process of discovery and play, rather than production or critique.

During our time together, we will engage in:

  • Journaling and “mark making” that will help us explore our inner world intuitively
  • Labyrinth walks to tap into our body’s wisdom
  • Practices of discernment to work with resistance and open ourselves to what we don’t yet know

Our time together will be framed by contemplative practices of breathwork, silent prayer, and rest.

Materials fee paid to presenters separately: $20. Materials fee will be collected at the retreat.
