Pray As You Go Deepening Day - An Online Retreat for Makers

October 4, 2025

How often do you spend time with God in creativity?

Creativity can look different for everyone! Whether it’s paper-crafting, sewing, knitting, crochet, scrapbooking, painting, drawing, origami, pottery, woodcarving, photography, music or writing, there’s room for all our creative expressions.

This is an online retreat day especially for you to set aside time with God while making. You will find your own quiet space to be at work and use your own materials of choice. There will be suggestions for prayer and opportunities to share your prayer.

How it works

The day will consist of:

• Gathering online for a short input from Vron Smith on a theme, with some suggestions for prayer to take into your making and prayer time.

• Time for prayerful making, with materials of your choosing (offline).

• Gathering online to share the fruit of your prayer so far in the group.

• In the afternoon, there will be a further suggestion for prayerful making together with the opportunity to continue with the morning’s making if desired.

‍

Vron Smith is a spiritual director and retreat giver who loves making ... especially quilting, paper-crafting, crochet.

Suggested Donation

The requested donation for this event is £40. This is what the Jesuit Institute and Pray As You Go need to cover our costs and to support our work of making Ignatian spirituality available to as many people as possible.
