SoulCollage® is a simple intuitive process of creating many small collages and then giving voice to the images to discover their identity and the wisdom they carry. It is an imaginative, contemplative way to mindfully access the Stillpoint of our True Selves. Using SoulCollage® as a spiritual practice integrates mind, body and spirit and builds community. Whether you are new to SoulCollage® or are experienced creating cards, this retreat offers time and space to creatively explore your inner being and the wisdom and blessings available there. There will be four group gatherings for information and supportive interaction as individuals explore the paths of their inner life. Orientation and consultation is available as needed especially for those new to the SoulCollage® process.
