SoulCollage® Retreats

 CALIFORNIA Soul Quest : Adventure Into Awareness Through Silence Pine Manor Retreat Center, Lake Elsinore, CA November 3 - 7, 2010 Facilitator: Gail Warner, MA, MFT This retreat is housed in silence. Awakening awareness will begin with each person setting his or her INTENTIONS. Then take time to "empty the FRIDGE" - evaluate what needs to be tossed out to make room for something you want in your life but have no space for. Pathways to discovery will include INQUIRY, ENGAGMENT, and CELEBRATION and will be explored through your choice of modalities, including SoulCollage®, journaling, sand tray, sacred conversations, meditation and silence. Interested? Visit this page now. MASSACHUSETTS Pure Bliss: Self Care Using the Expressive Arts Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health Lenox, Massachusetts February 16-18, 2011 Facilitator: Anne Marie Bennett, Gabrielle Javier-Cerulli & Susan Stratton Do you want to bring into awareness aspects of yourself that you sense are there but can't clearly see? Now is your chance to engage and awaken those aspects through creative exercises designed to take you on a journey of self-discovery. Dive into your inner world in a reflective two-night retreat focused on relaxation, self-expression, and pure enjoyment. We'll dive into SoulCollage®, paint, draw and build sculptures in a sand tray, and enjoy creative exploration in a healthy, fun, safe community setting. Interested?

Expanding Our Soul Work with SoulCollage®: A 3 Night Retreat for Women Rolling Ridge Retreat Center, Andover MA June 15 - 18, 2011 Facilitators: Anne Marie Bennett, Anne Boedecker There will be LOTS of time for card making, sharing our SoulCollage® cards and card making ideas, as well as doing readings with our Decks. The card making tables will be set up round the clock all three days, so you can make SoulCollage® cards while breakout sessions are going on, in the middle of the night, and in your jammies by the light of the moon if you want! The focus of our breakout sessions during this retreat will be using our cards to deepen our soul work. We'll be building relationships with our cards as we work with them in various ways: writing, movement, and readings. Kindred Spirits save $50. Early bird deadline November 15, 2010. Interested?

Just look for whatever SoulCollage® topic you are interested in, and read to your heart's content! SoulCollage® is a trademarked process created by Seena B. Frost. For more information about Seena and the origins of SoulCollage®, please visit her website. SoulCollage® cards are made either from one's own art or from images found in materials which have been bought by or given to the SoulCollage® card maker. These collaged cards are used only for the cardmaker's own inner exploration. SoulCollage® cards are not sold, traded, bartered, or copied (except as a back-up for the cardmakers own use) as is stated in the "Principles of SoulCollage®." Where SoulCollage® cards are available to be seen by others, it is for the purposes either of demonstrating the SoulCollage® process or of sharing the cardmakers' inner process in the context of community. SoulCollage® is grateful to the artists and photographers who make this deep awakening process possible and in all ways SoulCollage® seeks to be respectful of their rights.

SoulCollage® has a lot to celebrate this month. After many years of inward movement and growth within our community, it is now expanding outward into the world in a very big way. Three things are happening this month in the SoulCollage® world that are giving ALL of us cause for deep soul celebration.
The other day, when drawing a card at random from my deck as part of a SoulCollage® Reading, I drew my Community card for Anne Marie Bennett (founder of KaleidoSoul.com) and I was reminded how blessed I felt having Anne Marie in my life. I sent Anne Marie an email and told her she had appeared in my reading and how grateful I was for her friendship and support. It was wonderful to share with Anne Marie how blessed I feel to have her in my life. We then had a wonderful email conversation that honored and celebrated our friendship.
