This is an opportunity to go deep with a project, or to start something you've been imagining anew. For more details, please view the retreat flyer.

MEDITATION AND WRITING
| |
Have you ever wanted to try meditation? Have you ever meant to do a regular practice yet resisted time after time? Are you familiar with the thoughts (monkey mind!) that intrude when attempting peaceful moments?
Then join us for several short sitting periods interspersed with journaling. We will experience how much these two practices--writing and meditation--have in common and how they can enhance one another. Themes will include mindfulness, compassion and acceptance. Bring a journal and a cushion, if you have one.
Saturday, May 18
10am - 1pm
Facilitator: Phebe Beiser
Fee - $35

A DAY OF SOUL TENDING
WITH TOUCH DRAWING
AND SOUL COLLAGE
| |
Join us for a day of reconnection and renewal through Touch Drawing and SoulCollage! We will begin the day giving form to our inner stories with SoulCollage. After lunch we will explore the wonderful world of touch drawing, a process in which the pressure of one's fingertips on the backside of inked paper is used to create a free-flowing series of prints. It is both an art and a gentle form of self-inquiry.
Friday, July 12
10am - 4pm
Facilitators: Sara Pranikoff and Diane Debevec
$65
*Includes art materials and a simple healthy lunch. Recommended for those with some familiarity with the SoulCollage process, though this is by no means essential.
