Fall Women's Retreat

Join us for the fall retreat to explore the intersection of faith, creativity, and joy. Through playful interactive exercises and deep reflection, we'll delve into the profound connection between creative expression and spiritual growth. We'll explore how naming God as an Artist and delving into our own God-given creative potential can help us deepen our faith, ignite inspiration, and spark joy. No previous artistic experience is required. Come as you are; creative joy awaits!
