The theme of this year’s Summer Sabbath is The Art of Being Human: Working With a Creative Spirit. Facilitated by Rev. Geraldine Howard, the retreat will explore the sacred space of art and the ways it is displayed in our everyday lives. Art affords us a kind of freedom, balance, and a means of connection in a busy world. We will ponder some of the unusual and unexpected ways art is reflected in scripture and movement. We will also propose ideas for living a deeper spiritual life. There will be time for both personal reflection and group sharing.

Join us for an afternoon to celebrate and recognize the students of W.I.D in our 7th Annual Showcase to close out the semester. Showcase will feature performances from the 2022-2023
