Lines – short or long, wide or narrow, are all around us. Once we become aware of the lines in our lives we will see them everywhere. They are sacred. We will explore lines of many shapes that when put together make beautiful images. Our world at this time needs the power of beauty to move people to reflect on life and to take action.
This Retreat is for anyone whishing to take a look at lines and take the next step to draw them. No art background is necessary, but your enthusiasm is!
You will experience time in prayer; time with pen and paper; time of looking at nature and surroundings; time of sharing; time of learning. This will be a quiet day of time suspended.
We will begin and end with prayer. Morning Praise with the Sisters is available. You will need a black, thin, felt-tip pen. S. Monika will provide paper and pencils. Bring your enthusiasm, too
