Inspire your creative soul

Designed to inspire your creative soul!

The safety of our guests and sta remains our highest priority, and we will do everything we can to support that priority. We also miss our guests and look forward to gathering again for art workshops, adult retreats, and personal respite at Cedar Valley and all of the UCCI’s sites. If you are looking for a safe way to gather before everything reopens, might you consider volunteering with us? We welcome volunteers of all abilities and interests to help keep our facilities pristine and viable. Until we see you face to face, know that we long to serve you and miss you.
