Cultivate: A Creative Retreat for Followers of Jesus
MARCH 17-19, 2022 | ANVIL ISLAND
“Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Don’t be impressed with yourself. Don’t compare yourself with others. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life.”
— Galatians 6:4-5 MSG
Each of us is gifted with a slice of creativity that comes uniquely to us.
These gifts are ours to steward, so how do we cultivate a rich creative life that bears the fruit of these gifts in season?
How do we, as the unified body of Christ, sharpen and uphold each other’s gifts?
For those who pursue creative work outside the walls of a church building, how do we keep both feet firmly planted within and without? And how can we make art that deeply honours God, though it may not directly bear his name?
This spring, we’re going to explore these questions together by rowing out to Anvil Island to play, pray, and discuss how to walk out our calling as creative disciples of Christ.
If this sounds like your cup of tea, we invite you to register your interest below.
See you at Anvil…

More Details
The retreat is open to anyone who considers themselves an artist, creative or maker of any kind.
Though there will be plenty of free time, this collaborative retreat is not primarily a time to create. You will not be asked to produce any work, though of course you are free to.
Space is limited to 18, and slots will be booked on a first-come-first-served basis. We will release more details along with a booking link later this month.
We are unclear where we fall under current PHO guidelines, but will make every effort to include all guests regardless of vaccination status. If this could affect you, please let us know when you register your interest.
