Creative Soul Retreat at The Whatever Craft House 2022

 “Creativity is a God-given ability to take something ordinary and make it into something special.  It is an openness to doing old things new ways…The creative spirit is part of our heritage as children of the One who created all things.  Nurturing our creativity is part of our responsibility as stewards of God’s good gifts.”  

Emilie Barnes, The Spirit of Loveliness

 

I think I'll continue to say this forever and know many women that will back up the claim:

"There is something amazing that happens when Art & Faith Collide, when you are in an amazing house full of women, food, coffee, snacks, paints and time to be quiet, restore, rest, stay up late, wake up early, wear your jammies all day long..."

 

That is the best way to explain it because honestly, there are not words to go along with what happens...and Jesus shows up every.single.time.

Here is a brief look at what is included: 

• Transportation: Pick up on Thursday & drop off on Sunday from ICT Wichita Airport for those flying
• All Meals: Each day you will get to enjoy amazing and fresh meals prepared just for you. Yep, three meals a day so be ready to eat.  Leave your diets at home and bring your stretchy pants.  In between there will be a ridiculous array of salty and sweet snacks and apples, coffee, water and tea with bags of sonic ice of course. 
• Lodging: The Craft House is located in Newton, Kansas.  It is a 100 year old restored home that is used for retreats and sleeps a total of 17. Upstairs there are four beautifully decorated bedrooms.  Each room has between 2 – 6 twin beds.  It will be hard to pick just one because they are each crazy cute. Be prepared for late night giggles and some early rising roommates.  There are three full bathrooms that will be shared.
• Creative Time & Supplies – IF you have a Journaling Bible and/or an art journal that you would like to work in, please bring that.  Everything you will need for all creative sessions will be provided.  Tip: You may want to keep a little extra space in your suitcase for the projects you create and the treasures you may find along the way.
• Daily Routine - At the beginning of each day and at the end of each night we will have a devotional and discussion time. There will be a mid-morning creative sessions with lots of supplies to play with. There will be plenty of time for naps, walks and you will even be able to schedule an in-house massage if you would like.  Note: Retreat registration does not include massage fee.
  During the retreat, there are no rules; you can do what you want, when you want. We will have a meal & creative schedule and will be having morning and evening devotions, but you get to take time when you want. We will be going to a local fabric store and walking the "downtown" area of Newton where there is a used book store, a few antique stores and a thrift store.
