Do you wish you could find hope and healing through something you enjoy? In these podcasts Jen will walk you though creative exercises designed to do just that. Engage your sense of play and wonder in order to deepen your insight and bring about new layers of awareness and healing. Attend to your heart, soul, and relationships, grow as an individual, deepen your connection and understanding of God, and have fun in the process! Jen will introduce you to a variety of ways to harness the healing power of art for yourself and those you work with. She'll introduce activities, walk through reflection questions and discuss how to customize every piece of this process to best suit your needs. Plus, special guests will join us regularly to help us gain perspective and learn to see more clearly :)

It's the 1/2 mark and I thought I'd review the 26 names we've already created cards for. You can watch this epsiode on YouTube (https://youtu.be/PXX4x2kVilQ) to see the cards.
Come join us as we study the next 26 names on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/c/Learningtoseestudio). There are weekly videos to walk you through the art process and discuss the verses and insights of others who have studied the names before us. In the write-ups you'll find all sorts of helpful links and ideas to dive a little deeper into what the names mean in your personal life.
Sign ups for the fall retreat will be available soon on the Learning to See Studio website (https://www.learningtoseestudio.com/challenges).
