• Paper supplies in the back pocket of the retreat book
• A handmade fabric bag that includes:
  • Set of 24 watercolor pencils
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick
  • 2 paintbrushes
  • Pen
  • Pencil
  • Pencil sharpener

(Please note: I am sewing the bags myself. They will be sewn with prayerful love, but probably not straight stitches. Also, the art supplies included are mostly budget supplies. My hope is to keep the retreat affordable and to keep the focus on the creative process, not the product.)

Comments about the Creative Arts Lenten Retreat from Spacious Faith:
(And none of these are from my mom!)

“I wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the Lenten journey with you and your wonderful writings.”

“I’ve enjoyed this Lenten experience. I’ve had many things revealed to me about myself and my walk with MY LORD. Thank you for all your hard work in providing the materials. I look forward to doing this again.”

“I really appreciate the hands on activities that we are encouraged to do in this retreat. It greatly enhances the experience, and inspires me to continue with these types of projects even after it is over. ”

“Rich, wonderful first session . . . “
