Creatives of all kinds—writers, musicians, painters, poets, preachers, dancers, etc.—are invited to join facilitators John Hermanson and Maren Haynes Marchesini for a restful and contemplative artist retreat deep in the Montana wilderness along the Boulder River. The retreat will center around a monastic rhythm of morning and evening prayer featuring John’s original music. Artists will engage with contemplative practices for opening the mind and body to creativity, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings and community life of Christikon, including worship and mealtime. Artists will also have spacious, open work time for creative projects, as well as options to share works-in-progress with one another. Meals are served Monday supper through Thursday lunch. Registration is $350 per adult. Register at www.christikon.org. Please inquire directly (secretary@christikon.org) with any questions or for scholarship opportunities.
