Retreats and Events

Welcome to a space where reflection meets a splash of color. Contemplative practice doesn’t always have to be lived in stillness—sometimes, the deepest spiritual insights arrive through the tip of a paintbrush or the messiness of creation.

Whether you are joining a scheduled workshop or looking for a custom-designed retreat tailored specifically to your group’s journey, I invite you to step away from the noise and rediscover your inner landscape through the joy of mindful play.

The Art and Spirit of Veiling

Explore the many personal and cultural meanings of veiling through reflection, discussion, and creative expression.

The Pilgrimage Home

Pilgrimage is a journey—both literal and spiritual—taken to seek faith, meaning, and a deeper connection to one’s true source.

The Play of Color

Explore how playful, color-based art can illuminate inner experience and offer a path to insight and self-expression.

“In the Pilgrimage Home retreat at the Mercy Spirituality Center, Mary guided us step by step, gently and with humor, through our own pilgrimage using poetry, visio divina (seeing with the eyes of the heart), and other techniques to help us to recognize our individual pilgrimages, from where we had come and how we got to where we are today. I look forward to taking another retreat with Mary.”
