Encountering God Through Art
October 11 @ 6:00 pm – October 13 @ 11:00 am EDT
Check-in from 3pm on Friday
By Sister Judith Marie Blizzard and Sister Jane Mary Gawlik
Join us for a retreat that invites you to encounter God through art as a form of prayer, embracing our creative nature made in His image.
During the retreat, you’ll explore different ways to pray with scripture and use various art mediums—such as clay, pen and ink, pencils, watercolors, and natural materials—for reflection. The schedule is flexible, with presentations and art-based prayer experiences throughout the day, allowing time for personal reflection, sharing and exploring Maryville’s grounds to draw inspiration from nature’s beauty.
No artistic ability is required, and all supplies are provided.
