Creative Encounters: Exploring Imaginative Paths to God

Our 2025 Retreat Conference offers us the chance to explore ways in which the imagination can deepen and renew our faith. In particular, we will look at just some of the creative arts – including poetry, literature, painting, textiles, music and film – and the depth they can bring to our faith and spirituality. We all need the renewal of our imaginations. We all need creative encounters that will give life to our spirits. We look forward to exploring this life-giving journey together!

Join us for talks, workshops, worship, discussion, listening groups, resources and inspiration!

Key contributors: Joanne Anderson, Abbot Christopher Jamison, Glen Marshall, Rev. Mark Oakley, Jacqui Parkinson, Gaynor & Simon Shaw, Rev. Graham Sparkes.
