Creativity and the Spiritual Life (Glenda Dietrich Moore, MDiv, BFA)

How can your own creativity support your listening and responding to the Spirit? Through visual expression we can learn to be true to our own voices and our own pace while also listening to and being guided by God’s Spirit. This quiet, contemplative day will awaken and celebrate the creative process in your life through a variety of prayer forms, Scripture, reflection, group sharing, and hands-on expression with art materials. You will be invited to be playful in your prayer life while partnering your own creativity with God’s creative Spirit. Very simple art materials (paint, collage, and clay) will be used in a non-threatening manner while focusing on the process rather than the end product, and NO previous art experience is necessary. The creative prayer explorations practiced in this workshop also lend themselves to be used by participants at future times and places. You may wish to bring a journal and colored gel pens.
