Share ideas on how Sabbath is celebrated in our culture. Reflect on creative ways to open time for Sabbath in your life. Savor the rich and complex flavors of Sabbath.

Celebrating Your Creative Self
Marywood Franciscan Spirituality Center
Director: Karen Kappell, FSPA

There is much play involved in painting and play releases the spirit within. Something special happens when a person decides to let one's imagination rule in what one is doing. Children have this gift and we can become like them with a bit of effort. The purpose of this week is to get in touch with our creative selves with a variety of freeing painting experiences. Through reflection, it is possible to discover and integrate this into our sense of self. No art experience is needed to participate.
