Preparing to Walk with Jesus: Writing and Reflecting on Holy Week
With Sarah Cortez
March 22 - 27, 2026
This year let’s prayerfully approach Holy Week by writing key moments from our own lives and the lives of those we’ve known that echo the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ.
We’ll use key Scriptural passages to reflect on God’s divine wisdom and infinite love during the ups and downs of our own experiences. The Stations of the Cross will provide a spiritual roadmap as we write key moments from our lives when a friend, family member, or stranger
brought us closer to God.
Join master teacher Sarah Cortez for this writing and spiritual workshop designed to prepare for the rich spiritual abundance of Holy Week, while pausing from life’s busyness to listen to God in silence.
This week-long workshop’s studio time lasts five consecutive days. Check-in begins Sunday night at 4:30. Dinner is served at 5:30 pm for students and instructors. Dinner is followed by a workshop introduction and conference, which ends at 9:00 pm. Hands-on instruction begins early Monday morning. The entire workshop ends Friday at 1 PM.
At Enders Island, all of our workshops are grounded in the Theology of Sacred Art.
