Dare to Dream | Catholic Creative Retreat
5 July @ 12:30 pm – 5:30 pm AEST
Are you longing for a moment of creative connection and spiritual nourishment? Join us for a refreshing Catholic Creative Retreat where we’ll explore the beauty of brush lettering and the power of creativity in prayer.
Discover how our call to create intertwines with our vocations, learn practical ways you can fit rest and recreation into busy lives, and find inspiration to lift up the unique joys and struggles of our unique relationships and work to Jesus. This retreat offers us an opportunity to make space for matters of the heart, while we explore practical ways to incorporate rest, recreation and creativity into our busy lives. It’s a time to lift up the joys and struggles of our unique vocations, relationships and work to Jesus. 💖
🤔 What to expect? Creative workshops, talks, dedicated time for personal reflection, quiet time, prayer, and, if you wish, to receive the Sacrament of Confession and celebrate Mass. We’ll reflect on scripture and the Saints, explore our God-given strengths and dreams, and see how noticing life’s little ‘glimmers’ can deepen our faith.
Experience the gift of stillness: Our retreat offers a precious opportunity to step away from the demands of daily life and find genuine rest, reflection, and quiet prayer.
Unlock creative tools that support your wellbeing: Unlock your inner artist (no experience needed)! We’ll explore simple yet powerful creative interventions to help you reset, gain clarity, and approach your day with renewed energy and perspective.
Nourish your soul: Beyond the practical skills and topics we’ll explore, this is a chance to replenish your spiritual wellbeing. We’ll have dedicated quiet time for prayer, painting, journaling, or rest, and the option to receive the Sacraments.
My hope is to give women a chance to reconnect with personal hopes and creative aspirations that so many of us are used to putting on hold. We will reflect on the plans we are discerning or doubting, and connect with other Catholic women in a warm, welcoming space.
🎨 Do you need any art experience? Nope! I’ll walk you through every creative activity step-by-step, provide the materials, and you get to choose which creative interventions make the most sense for you!
♀️Do you need to be a mum to come along? No! All Catholic women are welcome! If you’ve been wishing for a chance to take time out, nourish your soul, and try something creative, this is the afternoon for you!!
We can’t wait to welcome you!
