September CCS Friday – Art as Spiritual Practice

September CCS Friday – Art as Spiritual Practice

On September 20th, 2024 CCS hosted an online discussion of art as a spiritual practice with Dawn Dickieson-Léger.

As bearers of God’s image, we are each invited to participate in God’s creation. How does creative practice connect to your sense of vocation? Rev. Dawn Dickieson-Léger has been conducting research into how the practice of making art (especially among clergy) is both a connection to and expression of the Spirit within.

Dawn Dickieson-Léger is a pastor, Anglican priest, spiritual director, educator, and a lover of art and artists. Dawn practices contemplative photography and painting from her home in Halifax, NS. She is always listening for the lessons that artists have to teach us as humans and leaders. She is concerned with clergy well-being, particularly facing the challenges of 21st century churches.

CCS Fridays: Online conversations to help us all to respond faithfully to emerging issues in local contexts. These workshops are open to anyone who might be interested. Each session will be on a Friday from 12:00 to 1:00 CT and in the form of a Zoom workshop.  There will be a presentation that will be recorded for future viewing, plus opportunities to engage with the ideas in small groups.
