Sacred Collage: Experience God Through Creative Expression

Sacred Collage: Experience God Through Creative Expression
September 13 @ 9:30 am – 4:00 pm CDT

Art can be another form of prayer, a way to center and open ourselves to an experience of God. Through creating, we often feel renewed, refreshed, and re-created. This experiential retreat includes prayer, lunch, and art supplies. In three sessions, we will create sacred collage using mixed media—images, words, decorative paper, stamped prints, and embellishments. After each session, we’ll offer sharing and reflection, asking questions such as “How did I experience the creative process?” and “What does my art tell me about the sacred?” Our focus is the process and not the product, so one need not be an accomplished artist but simply willing to play and engage the materials. Our theme will be sabbath and rest.
We invite you to consider adding an optional overnight stay (for an additional $65), before or after the scheduled retreat time, to spend more quality time with God. Just let us know as you register, and we will add it to your stay.
Please register by September 6.
After receiving your registration, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will include your invoice. We never want our retreat costs to be prohibitive to anyone who wants to attend our programs, so we are pleased to offer scholarships. Fill out our simple scholarship request form now!
