Video Retreat-
Akhilandeshvari

Goddess of Never Not Broken

Saturday September 21, 2024

Have you ever felt like your life was “going to pieces” or falling apart?

Did you ever wonder how to access the power and resilience to put yourself back together?

And what does your Inner Perfectionist have to do with all of this?

If so, please join us for our 11th KaleidoSoul SoulCollage Zoom Gathering Retreat!

In this fun, enlightening, community-centered four-hour video workshop,
we’ll take a look at this lesser-known but imminently powerful goddess and open up to her wisdom for our lives today.

What This Zoom Retreat is All About

never not brokenAnne Marie will lead the first 90 minutes of our time together with an Opening Circle to gather us into “retreat mode.”Ā  There will be time for you to learn about Akhilandeshvari and what she represents. You’ll be guided in ways to apply Her teaching to your own life.Ā  The teaching will include an overview and discussion of what happens when our lives break apart or “fall to pieces,” and how this goddess can help us recreate ourselves from the brokenness.

This session will include teaching, optional group discussion, visual examples, guided imagery, and journaling.

Anne Marie will also lead a powerful guided experience (Magical Inner Journey) where you will get to meet and connect with Akhilandeshvari, however she may appear to you. You’ll have quiet time to absorb whatever wisdom she has to give you at this point of your journey.

Then we’ll break for 45-60 minutes so everyone can be on their own to make cards, take a walk, get a bite to eat and/or continue with the journaling. We’ll turn the recording off but we will all remain on the video link as much as possible, so that we can all stay connected.

We’ll gather together again for the last 90 minutes for sharing our cards, journaling with one of our cards, and a closing circle to send us out of the retreat and back into our lives. Because we’ll be connected by video, you can hold a new (or old!) card up to the camera and everyone will be able to see it as you talk about it!

It’s going to be perfectly WONDER-FULL!

If you can’t attend in person, we’ll send you the video recording along with all handouts.

 

We think that the point is to pass the test or overcome the problem
but the truth is that things don’t really get solved.
They come together and they fall apart.
Then they come together again and fall apart again.
It’s just like that.
The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen:
room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.
~ Pema Chodron

What People Are Saying
About Our KaleidoSoul Virtual Retreat Days

Being on the Zoom video call with others in various stages of discernment and resolution was powerful as well as revelatory. You were a wonderful facilitator! I really appreciate your generous sharing of all the resources you sent us after the retreat, and your immediate timing.

Thank you for presenting the virtual retreat yesterday! I thought it was very well structured and unfolded smoothly. I was amazed at how quickly the time passed and thought the content was balanced and relative. ~ Jenny, Maine

I truly loved this virtual workshop! It was very enlivening to have the shared experience with others! Thank you so much. ~ Dee, Wisconsin

What an enriching, healing, beautiful afternoon – thank you!! I shouldn’t be surprised, but I was surprised what came up for me yesterday – but it was what I needed and I can feel a new space of healing that opened within me. It was such a treat for me as I don’t have a Facilitator in the area to take workshops from for just myself. So to set aside my eyes and ears as a Facilitator and just relax as a participant was a gift.
~ Barbara, Wisconsin

I wasn’t able to attend “live,” but I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video afterwards and found the cards I made as a result richly rewarding. I definitely feel more connected to the SoulCollage community after this. THANK YOU! ~ Jan, Canada

sccracksThis was my first experience using Zoom so I have nothing to compare it to, but I thoroughly enjoyed our small breakout group experiences. I’m certain that there was deeper sharing than we would have had in the large group. For me, it minimized the feeling that I might be taking up too much air time. It also allowed time to digest what was being shared and therefore to respond more deeply with comments or questions. I am always in awe of the power of the process of SoulCollageĀ®. Again today, with your help and guidance, SoulCollageĀ® moved me. Instead of being stuck in my head, forgiveness has become something I’m feeling at a deeper level – in my heart, in my soul. ~ Beth, Canada

First of all, huge thanks. You went the distance and never seemed the least bit frazzled by anything ( even when I managed to annihilate myself visually or sit on my microphone). Your ability to use WAIT time dazzled me. Too often I zip along if no one pops up with an answer. Bottom line, you made it possible for me to feel connected and to realize how wide the net really is. ~ Victoria, Florida

Fabulous, just fabulous! I loved seeing everyone’s faces and more especially their CARDS! ~ Josie, California

What an absolutely amazing class!!! I have been in a deep process and this just fit into it all. The depth of your teaching is so moving and powerful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ~ Rita, Canada

All the places where you’ve shattered
can now reflect light and color.
We are already “never not broken.”
We were never a consistent, limited whole.
In our brokenness, we are unlimited.
And that means we are amazing.
~ Julie Peters
