Using the visual arts as a tool, these workshops provide a safe hospitable environment in which to reflect, imagine, express and explore the inner self and listen to the voice of God.
The Art and Prayer Workshops were begun by Carol at Leith School of Art in 1999 and became foundational to the Soul Marks Workshop ouvre. Regular Advent and Lent workshops were held at Leith School of Art, Lochiehead, Fife and later at St. James Church. Art and Prayer workshops have also been held at other times of the year on a variety of themes. Workshops have also been held in many other locations from Inverness, Scotland to Memphis, Tennesse.
No artistic experience is necessary as people are encouraged to participate wherever they are on their own artistic and spiritual journeys.
