Zoom: Spiritual Tools for Artists-Winter

With Evan Clendenin and Janice Ariza

January 27, 2022

Spiritual Tools is a monthly ‘mini-retreat’ for spiritual conversation in response to a work of art. This practice of lectio divina is an inspired practice of noticing, wondering and listening. Janice and Evan  provide ample time and space for participants to listen, speak, and slow down while viewing art of various mediums. Viewing a work is called visio divina and brings new attention to God’s integrating involvement in your art/craft practice, life, and prayer.  We follow a theme for a quarter.  Upcoming January, February and March will be Winter.
