Hybrid: The Sacred Art of the Line: An Exploration of Making Lines on Paper_
With Monika Ellis, OSB
February 28, 2026
The Line. What is it? How is it used? What is its history?
We will be drawing lines, looking at lines, and talking about lines in this program day.
Come for philosophical discussion and some fun!
This retreat is for anyone who wants to spend a relaxed day with ink and paper.
No art background is necessary. We will mostly be using the Zentangle method, which is my specialty.
It is a simple method of making images with lines.____
We will begin and end with prayer. Morning Praise with the sisters is available.
You will need a black, thin, felt-tip pen.
S. Monika will provide paper and pencils.
Bring your enthusiasm, too.
