In partnership with Garden Missions, this in-person retreat is designed for you to connect with your Creator in creative community. There will be designated times for creating, collaborating with others, and creative prompts and exercises.
There are 'free create' times, where you will have access to the various materials that we have (paint, collage, markers, and color pencils for visual artists, as well as musical instruments, paper, and pencils for songwriters).
There also are creative exercises/prompts. The whole retreat is centered on the theme Abide, so the creative prompts and times will all reflect this theme, meditating on scripture and activations.
Allow this time to help you set aside the sacred space needed to commune with your Father, inviting him to do a new work in and through you!
What to bring:
- Visual Artists, we will have a variety of supplies available (paints, collage, various utensils), but feel free to bring your own supplies if you would like to use those.
- Songwriters, please bring some kind of instrument for yourself (if applicable) and whatever helps you write (phone, journal, bible, etc).
Registration is $70, and includes Friday dinner, Saturday breakfast and lunch throughout the weekend. Together, let's come ready to connect with our Creator and other artists!
