Every month or whenever you can make it!
This regular online retreat time invites you to integrate Spirituality with Creative Arts. In contemplative manner we seek to celebrate Beauty in a challenging world. This is a place and time for embodying creative arts as prayer in spiritual freedom with others. Facilitated by JISA Spiritual Directors Kathy Cave and Lynne Head-Weir.
A typical session will include a guided contemplative meditation or prayer, with reference to Ignatian Spirituality, followed by the opportunity to create an artwork. There will then be reflection in small groups on the process of art making and on the spiritual experience during the time of meditation.
Each session will invite a different creative art experience. All adults welcome. No prior art experience is required. You are invited to join any one of the sessions or some or all monthly sessions.

Journey towards more creative spiritual dimensions together
This is a mini series of three retreats using items from nature in imaginative and symbolic ways. Third and fourth dimensional experiences will be invited as we work with collages, in clay and sand or soil.
How Are You Being Molded?
This session invites a tactile three-dimensional experience of molding clay with the intention of discovering more about who you are being, in your own individual way. Also, inviting you to be open to the spirit’s activity in the creative process, deepening your relationship with God in the fourth dimension of existence.
Cost: $35 per 90 minute session via Zoom. Please book and pay below.
On the Wednesday before the Thursday retreat, the Zoom link for your retreat will be sent to you.
