Our program for this retreat is 'Exploring Spiritual Self Care through Restorative Art.' This workshop aims to guide participants on a journey of self-discovery and inner healing through the exploration of spiritual self-care practices and the creation of restorative art rituals. This 2 day, 8-hour workshop will provide a safe and nurturing space for participants to connect with their inner selves, foster creativity, and cultivate mindfulness through art.

We will be gathering in person at the Lindenwood Retreat and Conference Center in Donaldson, Indiana. (Which is about 30 miles south of South Bend). Follow this link to learn more about our location: https://lindenwood.org/

We will begin to arrive from our various locations Sunday, October 15, for dinner, and leave after lunch on Wednesday, October 18. 

An introduction from our presenter: JeKaren Olaoya

JeKaren is a multi-disciplinary Artist and Chaplain who guides people to find spiritual practices that heal.

Hi! I’m JeKaren Olaoya! Born and raised in Macon, Georgia, my world revolved around sweet tea, complaining about the heat and humidity, and dreaming of a world where love conquered all. A graduate of Starr King School for the Ministry, I earned my Master’s of Divinity in Chaplaincy and I am passionate about community chaplaincy and spiritual guidance through creativity. Before Starr King, I earned my master’s degree in Nonprofit Leadership and Management from Arizona State University and certification as a Death and Grief Doula.

If you have any questions or concerns about the retreat, please feel free to reach out to any member of the exec team. We look forward to seeing you in a few weeks, if not before!
