Spirituality and the Arts
St Benedict Center 1126 Road I, Schulyer, NE, United States
This retreat will engage us in the process of spiritual growth. Through the medium of the arts, we will enhance our intuitive connection to God, experience God’s presence in liturgy, and seek new insights through artistic projects. This year’s program will feature fresh topics and approaches that will appeal to both new and returning participants.
