During this weekend, you will have time to slow down and consider how light does not argue with darkness. It simply enters and the darkness changes. This is how Jesus illuminates’ life for all humanity. The true light which gives light to everyone was coming into the world. This will be a retreat to reflect on the light in your life, the shadows of darkness, and where God is inviting His light to break through.

We will be focusing on letting light shine through by using different mediums of art. Acrylics and canvas will be used along with painting stain glass on various surfaces to make beautiful creations that reflect the light.

No prior experience needed. Just come and explore your creativity.

This is a silent retreat. Guests will be supported in keeping a sacred silence throughout the weekend, including at meals.
