“Praying Visually”
Along with Celtic saints, we will learn to “see” God in the beauty of creation around us, in the lake, the streams, the mountains, the flora and fauna. We will develop a practice of praying with our eyes. Then, gaining inspiration from what we have seen, we will invite the beauty of creation to empower our creative process and connect us to the Creator. We will pray visually not only with creation’s beauties but as we create visual expressions with watercolor and collage and as we play with colors of fabrics and papers.
