A Retreat Style Workshop for the Creative Soul
If you're a creative—whether you're a painter, writer, musician, designer, or artist of any kind—you've probably felt that tension between feeling the pull of your creativity and having no idea what God thinks of it. You maybe wonder if it's a waste of time, or if you should be investing in it at all. You're not alone. Many creatives come from communities that do not know how to support them spiritually or creatively. It makes navigating an artist's life incredibly confusing when you don't know where to go to figure out how you or God feels about your creative gifts. During this retreat-style workshop, you'll discover practical, spiritual methods for discerning God's leading in your creative work. We'll guide you through reflective exercises, honest conversations, and frameworks that help you recognize when God is truly directing your art. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of your creative calling, renewed confidence in your direction, and a toolkit you can use long after the workshop ends.
