Current Programs
Join us for an evening celebrating the work of artist Regina Ottman, whose abstract paintings are shaped by her rare experience of sound-to-color synesthesia — the ability to “hear colors.”
You are invited to bring your curiosity, sense of play and creative spirit to a one day exploration/celebration of music, art and oil pastel!
This will be a time for reflection, education, and joyful community gathering as we honor the end of slavery in the United States.
Go beyond traditional talk therapy with powerful techniques to transform emotional clutter into clarity and peace.
During this weekend intensive, we will explore theories and definitions of modern poetry, trying them on to see what fits for us. Seeking inspiration in the poetry of Dylan Thomas, Robert Frost, Marianne Moore, and many others, we’ll view their work as springboards or launchpads into our own creativity.
The Summer Solstice is the peak of light - a celebration of warmth, movement, connection, and the fullness of life. It’s a season of outward energy, vibrant presence, and heart-forward living.
This program will focus on being mindful of God's presence in our lives and how we can notice God being mindful of us.
Join us for a generative workshop in which we explore the poetry of Keats, Dickinson, Frost, and many modern authors to see how we can apply Keats’ theory of negative capability to our own writing.
One of our greatest literary visionaries, Emily Dickinson explored the vast spectrum of consciousness, from anguish to ecstasy.
Join us for a generative workshop in which we explore the poetry and paintings of William Blake, taking a deep dive into ten of his major poems, to see how we can apply Blake’s creative tension between opposing dualities into our own writing.
Come away to a quiet place…. We offer these quiet days as an opportunity to disconnect from the busyness of life, and to settle into the silence.
Step away from the demands of daily life and into a sanctuary of peace. Our five-day retreats invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace the stillness that allows your soul to awaken.
