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.

There is a retreat near where I live https://www.globalretreatcentre.org/ I visited a redundant church in their grounds. I can't say I am in need to going there just yet but good on you for entering into the spirit
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
DeleteThis is so awesome Kind of makerspace.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
DeleteWhat a wonderful room! I could spend a good while in a room like that.
ReplyDeleteThis is my third visit to the retreat center, but somehow I never came across it before now.
DeleteOh my! I think that would be my favorite room, too. So much fun stuff to look at and do.
ReplyDeleteYes, and the time to try things.
DeleteWhat a fantastic room; it seems to have something for everyone.
ReplyDeleteYes, it also had a zen garden and a big jigsaw puzzle.
DeleteOh my! I think I would never leave! Maybe, I should reconfigure my home office to become a "creativity space." LOL!
ReplyDeleteWhy not?!
DeleteHow long was the retreat? 24 hours? I love your paintings. My WW Post
ReplyDeleteIt was a Thursday through Sunday.
DeleteYou're the second person this week to mention a silent retreat. I am going to look for one here. I like the idea of the creating room.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog today and leaving a comment.
