Facilitator: Gillian Romano

Gillian comes to us with a bachelor’s in Fine Arts. With an equal love for nature and art, Gillian found herself learning the Universe Story before spending three years as a backpacking guide in southern Utah. Gillian’s knowledge of the Universe Story aided in seeing with a particular type of amazement at the way nature moved around her. She was able to recognize just how similar nature and art are in the ability to connect us to ourselves more fully.

Since her move back to the Midwest, Gillian has co-led many art retreats alongside Mary Southard, CSJ, and is excited to teach just how robust and influential the intuitive painting process can be in discovering new avenues for compassion and connection with ourselves and the world around us.
