DRAWING TOWARDS GOD: DISCOVERING
YOUR PERSONAL SYMBOLS AND SIGNS
Weekend retreat with Br. Mickey McGrath
October 10-12
From the earliest days of Christianity, creative people of faith have used signs and symbols to express their longing for God. On this retreat we will look at the traditional signs and symbols of Christian art and faith and we will use drawing as a means of exploring some of the mysterious and powerful ways God enters into our lives and calls us to deeper awareness of divine love. Through personal art journaling and drawing exercises we will open the eyes of our hearts with new ways to pray through visual symbols. Bring crayons, markers, or any art media of your choice. One need not be a professional artist to participate. Cost: $200
Facilitator: Brother Mickey O’Neill McGrath, Oblate of St. Francis deSales, is an artist, writer, and speaker whose published works may be found in ST. ANTHONY MESSENGER, USA TODAY, and AMERICA magazines. His books include “At the Name of Jesus” and “Blessed Art Thou.”

We shared faith; built a model church (above); watched a video about seeds planted and becoming great trees which became great signs of God's love; attended Sunday liturgy together; shared prayer, food, songs, and stories at the family campfire. Had a cookout, swam and hiked. What a great group and a blessed weekend we had!
