Two Day Event

Friday Evening - Saturday Evening (Sunday Optional)

About the Course


Creative expression is all around us, not just in art but in engineering, science and maths as well! Made in the image of our Creator God, we are all creative and our human spirits thrive when being able to express our inner self through creative expression.

Allowing such expression of our inner-self, in a safe family atmosphere, opens the doors to God’s gentle but profound healing as we allow him to access the deep recesses of our hearts where words are not enough to express long-forgotten pain.

This course provides time to discover the joy of being creative in a non-threatening way with a wide array of creative workshops to try. There are no expectations of producing something – but you may be surprised at what you can achieve with the encouragement and guidance of our talented creativity team.

With heart-to-heart teaching and plenty of time for creative workshops, this is not so much a course as an experience of God!
