Contemplative Creativity
November 14, 2025 | Retreats
Creativity comes from the Creator, and is often born from our deep-hearted experiences. The essence of creativity is transformation; combining original elements to make a new thing. Each of us is always in the process of transformation – becoming a new thing.
The weekend will focus on praying in creative ways to connect with God and broaden our understanding of prayer. There is a Celtic proverb “If you want to know the creator- create”. It is time for, enjoying, learning, practicing, nurturing the depths of your soul, and spending precious time with the great I Am, through deepening the prayer practices you already have, engaging more creatively with the creator through prayer (no artistic talent required), learning old and new prayer practices and encouraged the development of new prayer habits.
