Cultivating Creativity, Crafting Peace: A Workshop

Thursday, June 5, 2025
2 – 3:00 pm ET
Live on Zoom

Our world suffers from a lack of peace. Our own hearts struggle to articulate why. And our communities fail to envision a peace that is big enough, inclusive enough, sustainable enough to carry us into a better future. Where can we turn?

In this short workshop, author Eric Clayton pulls from his new book, “Finding Peace Here and Now: How Ignatian Spirituality Leads Us to Healing and Wholeness,” and invites us to consider how our own call to create might be an opportunity to work for peace. How can the creative act help us bring peace into our wounded world? And what does Ignatian spirituality add to the equation? In this workshop, we’ll begin to wrestle with these questions, allowing the Creator to dream with and within us.

Come prepared to share in small groups, to create in real-time and to leave refreshed and energized for the work of peace ahead!
