St. Augustine once said, “What do we love, if it be not beauty?” Indeed.

This fifth annual ecumenical retreat will engage us in the process of spiritual growth by exploring the connections between beauty and holiness. Through the medium of the arts, we will enhance our intuitive connection to God, experience God’s presence in liturgy, and seek new insights through artistic projects. The program this year will feature fresh topics and approaches that will appeal to both new and returning participants.
