This retreat will engage us in the process of spiritual growth. Through the medium of the arts we will enhance our knowledge and our intuitive connection to God, experience God’s presence in liturgy, and seek new insights through artistic projects. This year, Dorothy Tuma is our artist-in-residence this year. She will lead us in the creation of a visual record of beauty, through our own photographs taken from the grounds and the spaces within the sacred walls of St. Benedict’s Retreat Center.
