About this event
So often we are striving for a destination when we really should remember we are on a journey of faith, growth, and self care.
Interactive workshops will include:
Roadside Wisdom Taking creative inspiration from the journey of Mary and from artist and poet Morgan Harper Nichols and her book How Far You Have Come, participants will have an opportunity to journal and draw their own realizations of faith on the road of life.
Supplies needed: watercolor paper, watercolor set, thin black permanent marker, pencil
Advent New Year’s Resolutions: The liturgical new year offers us an opportunity to reset our intentions of faith as we continue on in our journey of faith. Participants will explore opportunities to recommit and revisit their faith and self-care goals through the practice of bullet journaling.
Supplies needed: paper, color pencils, pencil
