Creative Contemplation with Nature in Park.
WINTER
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
A time to cultivate our ecological conversion.
Pope Francis
The seasons are symbolic of life’s stages and spiritual growth. Just as nature cycles through birth, growth, death, and rebirth, people also move through similar spiritual phases of change and renewal. The changing seasons reflect the rhythm of our own inner journeys, reminding us that transformation is a natural and divine part of life.
Join us in each season for three hours of quiet creative time in Coomera for a guided reflection and personal time for creative contemplation in visual prayer, to experiencing a sense of the sacred caring interconnectedness with all creation.

Where: Viney Park, Lorenzo Drive, Coomera Gold Coast QLD
When: Winter: Saturday 8 August 2026, 9am – 12pm
Guided by: Lynne Head-Weir [Contemplative Artist and Companion]

What to wear and bring:
• Comfortable outdoor clothes and shoes suitable for the season and fold up chair.
• Bottle of water or your favourite morning beverage
• Eco-friendly art materials.

Price: $25 including guided contemplation and reflection materials.
