Creative Encounters

These visual arts workshops offer participants the opportunity to discover and use creative means to express their spiritual and emotional experiences and to explore their past and present circumstances. No previous art experience is necessary.
Awakening the Creative Spirit
This small-group workshop is designed to engage up to six participants in a creative process that can bring insight and perspective to persons struggling with a particular problem or issue. Using a combination of artistic expression and journaling, the process can often increase the participant's inner awareness and spiritual discernment of God's presence in the midst of their life circumstances.These workshops are conducted in a contemplative style, with opportunity for reflection, worship, creative activity, and group process.
