A Silent Retreat: Kairos, A Room for Creative Expression


I went on a silent retreat.

There were many places to explore on the retreat.

My favorite was Kairos.





Kairos is a room for creative expression.



Everything you need is in this room.









I was fascinated to read this article about Holy Play.


I also loved seeing Natalie Goldberg's suggestions for how to write.



I spent most of my time with watercolors.



I will return to Kairos.

    1. The whole retreat center is wonderful, and it's right in the middle of Houston, so it's definitely a place where a bit of quiet is appreciated. I especially loved this area of the retreat center.

  6. Oh my! I think I would never leave! Maybe, I should reconfigure my home office to become a "creativity space." LOL!

  9. What an amazing room! I would love to escape to that retreat. I enjoyed all your photos, especially the one with Natalie Goldberg's writing suggestions. You reminded me that it's time to reread her book.
