St. James Parish in Arlington Heights is hosting the Seeking God in Fresh New Ways Women's Retreat on October 17.

The purpose of the retreat is to help participants revitalize their walk with God. Artist Tamara Peterson and Life Purpose Coach Liz Lassa will teach women two fresh and fun new ways to connect with God.

In the morning session, Liz will share her shorthand approach to seeking God through Spiritual Circle Journaling. This format will help participants get deep quickly, using bullet points and circles. It's simplicity helps even non-journalers deepen their prayer life. The result is a closer walk with God, a more focused quiet time, and a life more clearly guided by the Spirit.

After a break for lunch, participants will take what they learned from the morning session a step further as Peterson teaches Spiritual Art Journaling. Participants will capture on a canvas the word, verse, or phrase from their morning session with papers, clipped images, textures and paints. "In the end, you will leave with your very own, 'one-of-a-kind' canvas to remind you of His message for this season in your life," Peterson said. "The only experience required is Kindergarten!"

When: Saturday, Oct. 17, Light Refreshments: 8:30 Retreat: 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Where: St. James Parish, 820 N. Arlington Heights Rd., Arlington Heights (Enter through the school's West doors.)

Cost: $65 (Includes lunch)

RSVP Deadline: Oct. 12, 2015
