SoulCollage® Retreat: Tapping into Your Inner Wisdom

Our Soul Collage® instructor will offer you an immersive experience creating your own images, composed from the strengths and insights drawn from your own spirit as you build your personal, individual collage. Using simple materials – magazine pages, scissors and glue – you imagine, and build a collage on cardstock that grows from your personal, inner dialogue in a guided creative process. That card becomes the basis for further inquiry of the self through a journaling process facilitated by our certified Soul Collage® instructor in the calm and sheltered environment unique to Holy Wisdom. This is a place of safety, as essential to spiritual inquiry and shared journeying.

• This retreat is for anyone seeking a fresh and unique way of knowing – whether for personal insight or for use in community and professional settings.
• Participants will be drawn to this class for its accessible, creative process and its depth.
• In addition, SoulCollage® appeals to educators, facilitators, counselors, spiritual directors, clergy and others who accompany people in meaning-making and transformation.
• The facilitator will share stories of how SoulCollage® has been integrated into her own personal journey and professional practice, offering both inspiration and practical application.
