Omorphia
Retreat for the Creative
The creative person is called to bring others to the truth and goodness of Christ by helping them see the beauty in His creation and the world around them. It is good for the artist to step back to replenish their own selves through Christ before continuing to give by creating.
With this year's theme, "Artist as Body of Christ," Omorphia is a weekend-long retreat to do just that; invite the artist back into the restful arms of the Father through the Mass, engaging talks, time in front of the Blessed Sacrament, fellowship, and intentional time for creativity.
At Omorphia Retreats, it is imperative to be surrounded by beauty during our retreats as beauty can bring rest to the soul. St. Mary Providence Center is located within the serine rolling hills of Pennsylvania. About one hour from Philadelphia, Allentown, and Lancaster, this centralized location is beautiful inside and out - a fitting scene to immerse yourself in the beauty of God's creation.
Though there will be catholic traditions throughout the retreat, you do not need to be catholic to attend.

Intentional Creativity
What is Intentional Creativity?
Though each retreat has its own theme, one of the core elements of Omorphia, is rest in the Father through intentional creativity. As artists and creatives, taking time to be be creative can be another form of prayer. Unfortunately, we don't always have the opportunity to orient our creative process in that manner. Omorphia Retreats are designed to do just that; intentionally write, draw, paint, dance, make music, etc. for God alone. Or take that time to simply rest in His Presence.
