“We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing” (George Bernard Shaw). Play is not frivolous – it is a sacred gateway to wonder, joy, and encounter with God. As children naturally pray through play, we too are invited to rediscover this holy playfulness in our relationship with the Creator. This weekend retreat explores prayer through the lens of play – approaching God with curiosity, delight, and freedom. We’ll engage in playful prayer practices that awaken imagination, loosen our grip on outcomes, and create space for the Spirit to surprise us. Through gentle experimentation, creative exploration, and joyful abandon, we’ll discover how play can deepen our prayer life and renew our sense of God’s presence.
