We invite you to this interactive creative day retreat in the heart of the city, set in beautiful gardens and a peaceful church, to use painting, poetry and a mix of creative practices to share the good news of the gospels.
Attendees will be invited to use art materials to reflect on the seed parables found in the gospels, nature, and care for creation.
Bronagh Daly, Faith and Creativity Lead for Leeds Church Institute will be delivering the session along with local artist Janet Freckleton.
They will be reflecting on an 8 week nature sketch walk project they completed in 2024, looking at how Wisdom’s Call in Proverbs 8 inspired increased connection with nature and scripture.
