The Guild serves as a resource for many who are looking for respite and renewal in an increasingly hectic world. Some stay to be year-round community; most come for a week or two and return renewed and encouraged to spread new visions of art and faith in their own communities.
Throughout the fall, winter and spring, various artists-in-residence programs, retreats, and courses for students are offered. As a result of their time invested at the Guild, many are energized to live out their mission in and to the world more authentically than when they arrived.
