Exploring Archetypes and Wisdom
in The Wizard of Oz
Saturday August 27, 2022
Please join us for KaleidoSoul’s 11th
Zoom Video Gathering Retreat!
Both the book and the film, The Wizard of Oz, are full of amazing characters, witty quotes, an exciting story line, and much archetypal wisdom. It is one of the most loved stories of all time, for good reason. We’ll use our time together to explore all of the above . . . and more . . . for an amazing virtual retreat that will be fun, introspective, and creative.
The imagery and symbols found within the story contain guidance and wisdom that can speak to our hearts about the human condition. As we reflect on Dorothyās search for home, the Tin Manās quest for love ( a heart), the Scarecrowās desire to learn (a brain) and the Lionās need to face his fears (courage), we can begin to receive powerful insight and wisdom that can be applied to our own life.
Let’s all walk together along the Yellow Brick Roadānot to Kansas, but toward our hopes and dreams.
Take Dorothy’s hand and meet up with your own Inner Scarecrow, Tin Man, and Lion as you lean into a new way of looking at your own life’s journey.
We’ll also have time with some Munchkins, Glinda, and maybe even a Flying Monkey or two!
So pack up your Ruby Red Slippers and your card making supplies . . . and gather with us on August 27 for some SoulCollageĀ® explorations and community connections that will assist you on your own journey toward “Oz.”
Through a mythic lens, discover how Dorothy’s adventure in a magical land inspires our lives today, offering valuable tools to guide us through our challenging times. Where you will learn to thrive rather than merely to survive. Ā ~ Jean Houston, The Wizard of Us
What’s This SoulCollageĀ® Video Retreat
is All About
Anne Marie will lead the first 90 minutes of our time together with an Opening Circle to gather us into “retreat mode.” There will be time for you to share your own experience with The Wizard of Oz during our small group breakout times. The teaching will include an overview and discussion of the archetypal wisdom and messages of this well-loved story. The resources she’ll use for this teaching are The Wizard of Us by Jean Houston and Spiritual Journeys Along the Yellow Brick Road, by Darren Main.
Anne Marie will also lead an inspiring guided inner journey where you will get to travel along your own Yellow Brick Road toward whatever it is that you are wanting to create in your own life (courage? intelligence? a heart? a home? or . . . .?)
This session will include teaching, optional small group discussion, visual examples, guided imagery, and journaling.
Then weāll break for about an hour so everyone can be on their own to make cards or continue with the journaling. Weāll turn the recording off but we will all remain on the video link as much as possible, so that we can all stay connected.
Weāll gather together again for the last 90 minutes for sharing our cards, an activity with our SoulCollage cards, and a closing circle to send us out of the retreat and back into our lives.
Itās going to be perfectly AWESOME!

If you canāt attend in person,
weāll send you the video recording along with all handouts.
What People Are Saying
About Our KaleidoSoul Video Retreats
~ Laura, Michigan
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 ā thank you!! I shouldnāt be surprised, but I was surprised what came up for me yesterday ā 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 donāt 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

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
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
