Details of this retreat

An art journal encourages an introspective way to explore and communicate thoughts and feelings.
This retreat is an opportunity to slow down and respond to what emerges from the creative process. There’s an emphasis on intuition and playful exploration using a variety of art materials and techniques that naturally promote a sense of emotional well-being. This program is accessible to all levels of artistic experience including those who feel they have no ability at all. Openness and curiosity is all that’s needed.
All art supplies and guidance in how to use them are provided.
Commuter Pricing is for three days and includes supper on Friday, as well as lunch and supper on Saturday.

Sarah’s Advent zoom retreat
It was very effective. The book, speaker and activities brought me to contemplate and connect with God’s voice throughout the Advent season. I look forward to the Lenten journey being offered. Thank you

Transition to renewal
Spending the New Year’s Holiday at the Genesis Spiritual Life Center was the perfect way to usher in a new year. Time to rest, relax, pray, and write and to do it with those of similar wants, was absolutely wonderful. It will be hard not to do it again next year.

A Simply Centered Advent: Mandalas, Crayoning and Prayers
I found this program very special. I didn't know what to expect but found the whole hour and the crayoning in particular very quieting and peaceful. Focusing on the crayoning with the background music allowed me to focus completely on what I was doing.
The presenter had such a calming way of offering the material and added interesting pieces of art that illustrated the mandalas we were working on.
I hope you will consider bringing Sharon back next Advent

Christianity in Crisis
Excellent program. Brother Dom’s presentation was timely, clearly articulated, and inspiring. I have attended previous programs by him, and he never disappoints.
I have one suggestion for Genesis. There was some confusion about the agenda, in terms of times of the sessions as well as when the actual sessions began and ended. It would be helpful if an agenda could be sent out the day before the program begins. As commuters, it was a bit challenging to make sure we knew exactly when we needed to be there and for how long.
That said, as always, the staff was welcoming, helpful and friendly.
