SEEING THE WORD: Praying with Imagination

January 30 – February 20, 2020
The Retreat House at Hillsboro
22005 Church Street, Hillsboro MD 21641
We are pleased to offer this unique experience! Praying with Imagination is a contemplative prayer practice using art, music, imagery and color to help us encounter the Holy Spirit in personal and creative ways. Participants will be encouraged to play and create however they choose — journaling, drawing, collage, or just doodling!
Each week we will explore a beautiful passage of scripture accompanied by music or a simple art activity to enrich the theme. The passages include magnificent images from the famous Saint John’s Bible, inspiring us to open the “eyes of our heart” and contemplate what the spirit is calling us to do in the world today.
The Saint John’s Bible is the first of its kind in 500 years. Commissioned by the Benedictine monks at St. John’s, as a tribute to the new millennium, it has over 160 illuminations–or images reflecting the scripture–to bring the Word of God to life today. By praying with the illuminations, we may search deeper into the meaning for our lives.
$75.00 per person – Pre-registration is required. Please register by Thursday, January 23.
