Painted Prayers Retreat Weekend provides holistic
sacred space for spiritual, physical and mental restoration through
imagination, creativity, experiencing beauty in accessible natural habitats,
visual arts, yoga, Spiritual Direction and farm-to-table meals. By creating
space for intentional living everything that one allows into their being will
become sacred and everything that pours out of their being will bear the fruits
of holiness (creativity, inspiration, growth, beauty, hope, joy) that can be shared
for years to come.

What to Expect during your
Weekend
*Painted
Prayers operates on a schedule that we aim to keep, but our goal is not
to complete tasks but to experience the transformation that comes from the
practice itself. We believe we are called to move forward as a spiritual body
and allow retreat-goers space to live into the experiences that the Divine is
using to shape their lives and grow their Spiritual Journeys. Some spaces might
require more time and attention than others and we desire to allow
retreat-goers the freedom of entering into that space and experiencing it
fully.
