Year-End Retreat
“To Gather It Back Into Our Arms” - Year-End Creative Retreat (In-Person)
As the year moves toward its hurried ending, many of us feel a tug to pause—to remember what this year has actually held, instead of letting it blur past in a rush of to-dos and holidays.
This retreat is an invitation to step out of the noise for a few hours and:
Notice what you’ve witnessed, carried, and endured these last twelve months
Make gentle space for both the hard and the beautiful
Gather your year back into your arms and hold it in the presence of God’s loving gaze
We’ll meet in my cozy backyard studio, a space prepared for you to exhale, unhurried. I’ll guide you through a creative reflection/Examen practice using watercolor, journaling, and collage—simple, accessible practices that help us listen beneath the surface and pray with our whole selves.

Everything else will be ready for you when you arrive.

You don’t have to cross this threshold alone.
