Spiritual Journaling: Open the Heart with Sacred Art: A Sacred Art Workshop

Beautiful images have a unique ability to incite our imaginations and open our hearts to the wonder of God’s creative glory. Sacred art, especially, has the power to draw us closer to God. Join us for this five-day retreat and writing class to learn an approach to spiritual journaling centered on the contemplation of sacred art. Inspired by the time-honored practices of Ignatian spirituality, you will build bridges through your own writing to the Holy Trinity and the saints. The class resources will include images of sacred art, individual prayer time, written examples from saints and other Catholic writers, and thoughtful conversation about the rich devotional literature of Catholicism. You are encouraged to plan for a day with about 3 1/2 hours of class time, followed by unstructured time to pray, nap, write, or stroll the beautiful grounds.

Check-in for this week-long workshop begins Sunday night at 4:30 PM, followed by dinner for students and the instructor at 5:30 PM. Dinner will be followed by a workshop introduction and conference, ending at 9:00 PM. Hands-on instruction begins Monday morning after Mass, and the entire workshop concludes on Friday at 1 PM.
