Pause & Paint: A Canvas + Journaling Retreat

Sunday, October 25 | 1:00–4:00 PM
Adama Farm | Marengo, Illinois

Step away from the busyness of everyday life and into a peaceful afternoon at Adama Farm designed to help you slow down, create, reflect, and reconnect with God.

Join us for Pause & Paint: A Canvas + Journaling Retreat, a three-hour mini retreat for women surrounded by the beauty and peacefulness of the farm this fall.

The afternoon will begin in the Adama Farm Art Studio, where artist Madison Roberson will guide you step-by-step in creating your own 8" × 10" canvas painting. No painting experience is necessary—just come ready to create and enjoy the process.

Following the painting session, journal creator Liz Lassa will lead a Spiritual Circle Journaling session. You'll learn a simple and approachable method of journaling using bullet points within prayer circles, creating space to reflect, pray, and connect with God.

Surrounded by nature and the quiet of the farm, this afternoon is an invitation to pause from the noise, enjoy meaningful creativity, and leave feeling refreshed and encouraged.
