Keeping Art from Yesteryear Alive in our World Today
Praying with Imagination Workshop and Retreat
Spend time with art and the Word
This retreat invites people to ignite their spiritual imaginations as they study and pray with the Illuminated Word of The Saint John’s Bible; and then to extend that practice through the traditional arts including bookmaking and calligraphy. The retreat’s morning session focuses on the art and message of The Saint John’s Bible using the Seeing the Word process. We will be led by Mark Strobel of Gethsemane Episcopal Church and Laurie Neill of First Lutheran. The afternoon will invite participants to explore their own spirituality and creativity by developing their artistic imagination with Anne Kaese, a heritage artist.It’s a simple and beautiful retreat experience. Mornings begin with the prayer practice of visio divina, followed by talks on Scripture and prayer. After a brown bag lunch, participants work in the Scriptorium to learn new creative techniques and spiritual art practices. All materials provided.
