Praying in Color, Thursday, June 13, 1-3pm, In-Person, Carondelet Center

In-Person, $20  
1-3 pm CT | Thursday, June 13  

We usually pray with words and song. Sometimes we pray by walking or other movement. Seldom do we use doodling in color as a way to draw closer to God. Praying in Color can change the way you pray and how you experience God, by using the right side of your brain. This is not about coming up with a finished product, or being an artist. If you are looking for a new way to communicate with God, Praying in Color could be right for you.  

This program will begin with an introduction to the process, with most of our time spent using colored pencils or crayons to create shapes, lines, and doodles in response to our prayer. Participants are invited to share anything about the process or their pages. We will pray for others, the world, and ourselves in 20-30 minute sessions.
