Art and Prayer – Soul Marks Trust

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 oeuvre. Regular Advent and Lent workshops were held at Leith School of Art, Lochiehead, Fife and later at St. James Church. One-off Art and Prayer workshops offered held at different locations, times and on a variety of themes. Workshops have been held in churches, retreat centre, grand houses , and cottages and locations have ranged from Peebles to Inverness, Dunoon to Catterline and Ayrshire to Memphis, TN.

No artistic experience is necessary as people are encouraged to participate wherever they are on their own artistic and spiritual journeys.
