SUMMER ONLINE MINI-RETREAT

WITH MYSTICS & SAINTS ARTWORK

Contemplative artist and spiritual director Trey Everett and I have created a two-hour online mini-retreat for Saturday June 10 to help you relax into your summer.

Working with our newest set of coloring cards, “Mystic and Saints: The All Stars,” we’ll spend time exploring the three secret teachings of creativity: what it means to live in the present, be kind to ourselves, and move away from “right/wrong” thinking. Time devoted to coloring and creating, which moves us out of our anxious minds and into a deeper place of the heart, will be part of the retreat.

Once you register, we’ll mail you this set of 10 cards with drawings and descriptions of some of your favorite mystics: Hildegard of Bingen, Mechtild of Magdeburg, Rumi, Rabia, Lao Tzu, Julian of Norwich, Meister Eckhart and more. You bring this set of cards along with your favorite pens, markers and other art supplies to your Zoom screen when we meet, and we will spend a relaxing two hours (one of which is spent in silence simply coloring or adorning our selected card or cards) enjoying one another and these historical spiritual guides.
