Celtic Flow
Celtic Flow was a result of my Pilgrimage to Scotland in July 2019. After the experience, I was inspired to create art. A new creativity and inspiration began to unfold and is still a work in progress.
The next Pilgrimage is now in the planning stage (Was Cancelled)

Circle Design Surface: Creating A New Direction
After the Pilgrimage to Scotland, and at the request of a friend, for a possible class. Below you will see the unfolding of a new art direction. The creation of Mandalas, or circle designs. I draw them freehand, starting with a CD, drawing around this then begin to design and see what happens. I find the process very relaxing. I then take a photo and color with my iPad. Then create a repeat pattern. I hope you enjoy the outcome of the finished piece of art.
Mark Condy’s “The Journey of Coloring & Reflection” coloring book combines coloring mandalas with guided journaling and scripture reflection to promote relaxation and spiritual growth. The author shares his personal faith journey, emphasizing surrender to God’s guidance and trust in His provision. The text includes prompts for journaling, prayer, and creative mandala design, encouraging readers to find stillness and connect with God through creative expression. Condy uses metaphors, such as the kite and the oil tanker, to illustrate the importance of patience and trust in God’s timing. The overall message is one of hope, spiritual transformation, and reliance on God’s grace.
The book is available for all who are interested in the process of slowing down and drawing closer to God. We all need an excuse to escape the business of life and give ourselves permission to relax, ponder, and pray. This booklet will give you the process to slow down and listen to what the Lord desires to speak and reveal to you. IT IS NOW AVAILABLE

The Following are my experiments with flow art and digital enhancement.
This is an art experience for me, combining flow art and Celtic knot work. Starting with the flow medium and acrylic paint, I then take a digital photo of the finished flow piece. Then, enhanced with Celtic designs that I have created.
The Next Journey
Life is a sacred journey, and living life as a Pilgrim of taking a Pilgrimage has been a time-tested practice. It is about taking time to reconnect with God. Pilgrimage is an ancient path of practice, believing God is our journey companion in our faith walk. Some practices have been used over the centuries to draw ever closer to the Lord. We will explore these ways of connection with God. These way-markers will have a contemplative and Celtic focus, learning to try and walk what I call Celtic Christian spirituality.
It is a discovery of an ancient path or a way of life. That has a connection to the creator and nature, as creation magnifies the creator.
The Course or class I will teach is on Celtic Christian Spirituality
The aim: So they/we can learn from the ancient paths of Celtic saints, men and women of history and ancestry. Who walked a path that connected them to God, nature, community, and a simpler way of life.
Those who are looking for alternative spirituality, with a Celtic Christ-centered focus, are seekers of the sacred.
Congregational folks who are looking to enrich their mind, body, and spirit.
Those who long for connection with nature, to rest in creation, slow down and meditate on practices of a time-tested way of simplifying life from a Celtic root and finding sacred connections in daily life.
You know how busy life is, at times waking up wondering if there’s more to life than this business, and life as usual?
Do you long for a deeper connection with life? To explore a deeper longing of your heart to connect spiritually, to be more aware of the sacred, rather than the busy and aimlessness of life, or being driven, going through the motions of life. Help me, help you, find a new rhythm for your life.
You know how busy life can be, and wake up wondering if there’s more to life than this? Not wanting to face the business and stress, we long for a deeper connection to life.
The Next Pilgrimage
We will be given time to have space to create art, be in nature, develop relationships, and also have time with God. Having fellowship with fellow believers, being inspired in locations that have been places of pilgrimage for centuries. The practices and places we will go and explore and experience have been time tested and viewed as sacred places and practices. Where people have gone to encounter themselves and the sacred. To learn to walk gently on the earth and partner with the Holy Spirit who is our map, compass, and guide.
