New Year’s: Practice & Pasture of the Creative Life

Book through website.
A Pendle Hill New Year’s Retreat with artists Robin Reid Drake and Todd Drake (@QuakerPirate).
This New Year’s retreat is an invitation to slow down into creative awareness of our inner lives and reflect on the world we will navigate through the coming year. Attendees will explore how artistic and poetic practices can help us give ourselves the gift of pasture – that space our spirits need to wander, play, and struggle to better meet the world with peace and integrity. The retreat is co-facilitated by artist, Todd Drake, and poet, Robin Reid Drake. Together, this father/child duo bring an intergenerational, interdisciplinary perspective to a generative exploration of creative, spiritual paths. This retreat is open to novices and experienced artists alike and will involve reading, writing, and workshopping diverse poetic forms including visual poetry, as well as printmaking, drawing, and collage in the Pendle Hill Art Studio.
This retreat culminates in an alcohol-free New Year’s Eve celebration, with hors d’oeuvres and a home-cooked dinner, lively concert in the Barn, desserts, and midnight candlelit Meeting for Worship. This event is already included with your registration to this retreat!
