Multi-Arts Retreat 27 – 29 June 2025
United Adoration and Holy Nativity Church invite you to an in-person Multi-Arts Retreat with Andy Clark & Elise Massa on 27th – 29th June, 2025!
However you create – songwriters, visual artists, writers, poets, textiles and more… you are welcome! This retreat is designed to create a unique sacred space where artists and creatives as well as the curious and unsure can come together for a dedicated time of creativity, collaboration, fun, and encouragement.
Our retreat will focus on the theme of “Art and Soul: Meeting the divine in colour and quiet.” We will take our inspiration from the practice of Lectio Divina, Visio Divina and Audio Divina to explore how we encounter God and ourselves through all of our senses, looking at the models of exploring our creativity in whatever circumstances we find ourselves.
An interactive art experience created by Catherine Pinnock
Art and Soul is an exhibition that you create for yourself.
Using the three questions provided you are invited to choose paintings which most represent your answers, and using the easel, present your own exhibition.
This exhibition is designed to meet you where you are at any given time, there is no right or wrong answers or any magical formula. It’s offered to give participants time to stop and ponder, and to use in any way you feel is helpful.
In creating the paintings Catherine studiously avoids realism, basing the colours on the liturgical colours of the church year. Participants have the opportunity to read about these or to choose their paintings without this information or try both!
