I am very pleased to announce my first-ever retreat on the intersection of spirituality and creativity. If you live near the St. Louis area, think about joining me on Friday evening, October 11, and all day Saturday the 12th at Mercy Center to explore what happens at that very special place where God, prayer and our own creative activities meet.

My friends and musical collaborators John Caravelli and Phil Cooper will join me for a performance on Friday night and will help me sprinkle in some music throughout the weekend. The retreat flyer is included below, but email me at givenscreative@gmail.com if you have any questions or want me to email you a flyer.

Bring a camera, notebook, sketchbook, musical instrument or whatever tool, media or craft materials you use to create. Come enjoy the beautiful grounds and some time away to create and contemplate…

More information and registration information is also available on Mercy Center’s website.
