Where?
Join us for our sixth Creatives Retreat in the breathtaking Blue Ridge mountains at Crossroads Camp and Conference Center pictured above. Crossroads is located in Lowesville, VA, approximately 1 hour south of Charlottesville.
What?
The plan is to give you a weekend away to create, according to your own schedule. We will gather for the weekend to experience the Lord’s presence through extended conversations, babbling brooks, nature hikes, warm beds, comfy food, and the process of creating. Whether you’re a quilter or crafter, writer or reader, photographer, or painter, are interested in creative rest or prayer, or have another means of creating, we invite you to come and enjoy a weekend prepared just for you and by you.
There will be workshops you can sign up for to learn or practice creative skills. The specific workshops are TBD; however, will be similar to previous retreats which included watercolors, creative journaling, writing, mixed media, collage, pressed flowers, and more. Sign-up for workshops will begin September 1.
When?
The retreat will begin Friday, March 12, at 6:00 PM and conclude Sunday afternoon, March 14. The retreat formally begins Friday evening at dinner, however, there is an option to come Thursday after 4:00 PM for an extra day to use as you wish.
