Cultivate:
an Artists Retreat
Featuring: Lance Odegard
& Victoria Rose Park
March 16 - 19, 2027
Reimagine your creativity. Rediscover the delight of making.
Beauty has always been at the heart of Barnabas Landing. In recent years we’ve felt prompted to make space for those called to cultivate beauty: artists.
In a world where art is a commodity and creativity often takes a backseat to the cares of life, we want to recover a different vision. Scripture shows us a Father who stops to delight in what He makes, a Son who uses his creative genius to glorify the Father, and a Spirit who lets us in on both their power and their friendship.
Together with teacher, pastor & poet Lance Odegard and painter, mother & business owner Victoria Rose Park, we’ll explore a different way of making. Some call it Devotional Creativity, Redemptive Art or Culture Care. Whatever you call it and wherever you are on your journey, we invite you into a conversation that is both richly theological and deeply practical.
We’ll discuss staying rooted in the Vine, finding a Purpose Statement to anchor us in a bigger story, and stewarding the precious gift of attention.
Come away, and together let's cultivate a creativity that connects us and our audiences with the beauty of God.

LANCE ODEGARD
Hello, I’m Lance and I design conversations for a living. I do this as a Certified Leadership Coach and Design Thinking Facilitator.
Outside of work I’m a husband, father of four, writer, friend and neighbour in the DTES of Vancouver, B.C., and lover of all the things that make up a good dinner party—story, hospitality, people.
I am also very fond of dogs, good questions, poetry, Oilers hockey, Raptors basketball, human centered design, natural wine, organizational health, reading multiple books at a time, and making excuses for a party to go longer.
Unstucking is a made up word for change. It’s also the name of my practice for coaching, facilitation, and poetry.
VICTORIA ROSE PARK
Victoria Rose Park is a mother and full-time artist based in Merritt, B.C. Her artwork is inspired by the beauty and stories found in her adventures in nature.
