Benedictine art is art as prayer. “It expresses the deepest truths of our being; it makes our spirituality tangible.” The opening session will explore how each piece of art expresses a tangible Benedictine value. You will have an opportunity during your silent retreat to to read Susan Marie Lindstrom, OSB “Inside Every Monastic Is an Artist Waiting to Create,” share an insight; do a visio on one of the art pieces sharing one insight about it, share one reflection; and an option to create a collage, do an art piece, or write a creative piece to share on Sunday.
