Beyond Words: The Color of Prayer

STORIES FROM THE ROAD

GHOST RANCH, ABIQUIU, NEW MEXICO.
Too often we rely only on words, which have limits. Using art as prayer we invited folks of all ages to explore the mystery and revelation of the divine from a place where there are no words. Focusing on the dual concepts of art as prayer and the making of art as a way of praying, we guided workshop participants through the creative process to design and create a personal painted prayer. Together, we created a sacred space for this connecting soul work of art and prayer, engaging our imaginations to reveal, heal and renew our spirits. The image is from the evening Taizé style servce based on the Holden: Praying around the cross service.
