Umwelt: Expanding Our Vision, Exploring Our Senses
With Grace Cipressi
April 19, 2026
How does Jesus speak to us through our senses? “Umwelt” is a term used to describe how an organism’s world is created through how they perceive it. Using our God-given senses in this retreat we will explore how Jesus meets us where we are at in connecting with our sensory experience. Together we will explore the celebrate the variety of umwelts in the natural world, explore how Jesus engages with people’s senses in scripture, and create and share multisensory art pieces with each other.
Tuesday, April 19, 1:00 to 4:00pm
The cost of participating in this retreat is $30.
