Jesus took time away to rest and pray. Jesus took 40 days in the wilderness to re-align himself as God’s beloved.
Allow yourself to do the same.
Does your Lenten season hold intentional time away for nourishment or is it more of a sprint to Easter? Whatever shape your ministry or servanthood takes, we all benefit from sabbath time.
Let us feed your spirit on April 12th, 2025, in a day of rest, prayer, contemporary art and reflection in a one-day retreat, happening in-person for the first time! This retreat will be guided by internationally commissioned liturgical artist Karen Brodie Archibald and includes the sharing of her powerful and unique Stations of the Cross project, created over 7 Lenten seasons. This version is unlike any ‘Stations’ devotional you’ve experienced before!
St Andrews Anglican Church in Kelowna, British Columbia is a place where Karen has curated many deep connections with both clergy and congregation alike. She is grateful and excited for their support and participation in hosting this sacred space for the retreat.

"Karen's work, her gifts, are a steady support, and sign of light in these uncertain times in the world and in the church. She inspires with a clarity of faith and unstoppable call to an art ministry."
— Alida Privett, Educator, West Kelowna, BC
"Art becomes the sacrament that opens our hearts to the indwelling Spirit of God. The visible makes the invisible present in a palpable way. Any piece of art can be the subject of reflection."
