"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time."
Thomas Merton Welcome to the Creative Spirit Retreat. The goal of this retreat is to encourage participants to seek peace in their lives through contemplation on what the arts (visual art, architecture, creative writing, dance, drama, music, etc.) contribute to one's oneness with their world and their spirituality. These are often things we encounter without paying any special attention to them, however, considering the great attention to detail that went into making a work of art what it is can be a magnificent thing to contemplate, especially when staring down something in our lives that we are not looking forward to completing.
We hope the activities that follow will bring you peace and open your heart and mind to different ways of praying and contemplentation.
Peace,
Bellarmine Campus Ministry
