Yearning for God: Voices from the Creative Tradition” will be held on March 26th at 9 AM. Presenter Dan Moulton will take us through history during this retreat!
Meet the two remarkable women, St. Hildegard of Bingen and Lillias Trotter, whose love of God manifested itself in artistic expressions of faith, but whose life journeys took them in uniquely different directions. We will hear their stories, reflect on their creative works, and consider where the Creative Tradition fits into our own spiritual journeys.
