Artists and art-lovers alike are invited to The Tree of Life, an arts retreat hosted at Nashotah House from June 15-19, 2026. As we consider the central image of the tree in biblical tradition and art history, participants will connect art-making, theology, and prayer to daily life.Over the course of the week, we will gather in prayer, shared meals, and the joy of artistic collaboration as we participate in discussion groups, studio demonstrations and instruction, and, most significantly, making art together.
Drawing on philosopher Hans Georg Gadamer’s inspirational essay “The Relevance of the Beautiful” on the tripartite nature of Beauty – play, symbol, and festival – retreat participants and instructors will collaborate in serious play to produce meaningful and beautiful symbols, designs, objects, and images, culminating in a festive final group installation piece.
Participants may choose one of two tracks: Painting Track with Bruce Herman or Sculpting Track with Cameron Anderson.
