Creative retreats for being present with God.
Draw Near retreats are quiet, creative spaces to slow down, pay attention, and make space to be with God.
Through simple creative practices, silence, Scripture, and wondering, we make room to notice what is stirring within us and where God might be meeting us.
You don’t need to be an artist or even think of yourself as creative. There is nothing you need to make beautifully or get right. These retreats are an invitation to come as you are, play a little, listen, and see what you notice.
What to ExpectEach Draw Near retreat is a little different, but you might encounter:
time for quiet and reflection
a simple creative practice or invitation
Scripture, story, or other words to sit with
questions for wondering and noticing
space to create without pressure
optional opportunities to share
Some retreats are held in person, while others are offered online. I also occasionally offer multi-week gatherings and at-home retreat experiences.
Upcoming Retreats
October 10
1pm-3pm
Come make space for God through color, play, and creative exploration. We’ll create colorful papers, then tear, layer, and arrange them into loose collage landscapes, letting go of perfection and discovering what appears along the way.

October 22

Come make space for God through texture, color, and slow, creative play. We’ll use texture paste, stencils, and paint to build a dimensional piece layer by layer, making marks, experimenting, and noticing what emerges as we create.
