Creating something with your own hands and heart is a wonderful way to journey toward God. It expresses what lies deep within that words can’t often express. The intention of the act of creating is to open one’s heart to listening to God and allowing God to speak through the creative piece. If we take something that we love to do and invite God into the midst of the activity, this experience can be transformed and can be used to develop an ever closer relationship with God. This invitation becomes a sacred moment of connectedness with our Creator. It becomes another form of prayer!

Twentieth century science ushered in a new understanding of cosmos, matter and the way human life progresses through stages of complexity and consciousness. In this workshop, we will explore some of the key insights of science and examine their implications for a new understanding of Christ in evolution. Drawing on the insights of Teilhard, the notion of Christogenesis will be illuminated as the emergence of God, the significance of human life in the completion of God, and the complexifying divine-human relationship as the rise of the Christic.
