(OPTIONAL)
Giving Language to the Voice of God With Cathy Little
A Look at Spiritual Formation for the Musician & Artist
Worship. It is the language of the heart expressed
through countless voices, mediums, colors and sounds.
It is our
response to the God who falls beyond all
that we can imagine, yet is closer than the air we breathe. Even those who
do not call Him, "Lord," hear His voice calling
to them... because He created us to hear Him. He longs
only for us to respond. Join us as we explore
how our worship gives language to the Voice, the nature of One behind it and
our amazing role in His story. This workshop will take you into the deeper
waters and understanding of worship through teaching
and discussion as well as a time
of unscripted, spontaneous, Spirit-led corporate worship.
"Refuge, Release & Renewal" with Pattie Hale
A mixed media workshop exploring wholeness & pure expression as a creative
person.
Through an exploration of Luke 7 – The Worshipper with the Alabaster
Jar - this workshop will take participants on a multi-sensory journey toward
wholeness.
As we engage the scriptures, participants will symbolically and prophetically
experience their own journey of encountering Jesus as one with an alabaster
jar.
The cost of the workshop includes a birch panel, specific fabrics, select papers
such as mulberry paper, and various other collage elements, which will make up
the mixed-media project. All materials and tools, including paints, paintbrushes,
markers, pencils, adhesives etc. will be provided. The participant does not need
to provide anything for this workshop but is welcome to bring additional personal
materials and supplies if so desired.

"Over the years, I’ve encountered many artisans,
musicians, craftsmen and other creative ones who have, for one
reason or
another, become stuck. The ‘stuckness’ originates
from many different places – woundedness, fear, control,
unbelief, religious barriers – and creates a frustration
in their life that becomes unbearable. Many artists, unable to
understand what’s really going on either run headlong into ‘creativity
for creativities sake’ or turn to unhealthy alternatives
in order to numb or overcome the pain they are feeling. Many
more simply give up, hide the gift by stuffing it down under ‘Christian
work ethic’ and just try to gone on with life as usual."
Matt Tommey from Unlocking the Heart of the Artist.
Whatever your flavor of ‘stuckness’, the Father
wants you to be fully released to worship Him through your creative
expression. His desire is that nothing holds you back from creative
destiny for your life – not even yourself. This weekend
is about embracing the divine calling for your life as an artist
in the Kingdom, getting in touch with your unique prophetic voice
and releasing it in a way that not only effects culture, but
the heavens. It’s also about you being fulfilled and happy!
The Father’s desire for your life is not that you just
be productive or even that you work for Him – it’s
that you live a life fully engaged in His presence; a joyful,
passionate and creative life where you’re enjoying Him
as much as He enjoys you!
This weekend
experience includes worship, 3 main worship & teaching sessions,
personal ministry appointments for each participant and a hands-on
creativity workshop.
