SoulCollage ® is an experience of self-reflection using images that speak to you. It develops your creativity and intuition, encourages self-discovery, and provides personal guidance. It meets you wherever you are on this journey called life. You don’t have to be an artist to participate, anyone can create and enjoy this powerful practice.

Theme for September 28-29 Weekend Retreat: “Forgiveness”

Forgiving others and ourselves and accepting forgiveness move us toward wholeness and to authentic, reconciled relationships. Forgiveness often takes intentional inner work to acknowledge and release shame, guilt, and regret; to face and transform our anger; and to receive and offer forgiveness. Through music, poetry, journaling, and making SoulCollage ® cards, we will take steps toward the freedom forgiveness offers. Please bring a journal and a pen. Facilitated by Vicky Curtiss and Missy Isely-Poltrock.
