2021 RETREAT DAYS

SEEKING THE TRUE SELF: A SOULCOLLAGE JOURNEY



Facilitator: Joan Stockbridge, a trained SoulCollage facilitator


VIRTUAL WORKSHOP (via ZOOM)


When heroes set off on quests, they seek a great treasure. This journey, understood on a spiritual level, can be seen as a journey towards the true self, at one with the Divine, living a life of love. During 12 monthly online groups, we'll work with these frameworks using Soulcollage as a process of exploration and growth.


SPECIAL NOTE

In order to deliver this retreat via ZOOM, Joan has made adjustments to create a balanced rhythm between time on- screen for teaching and group processes with time off-screen for breaks and cardmaking.


You will need your own cardmaking supplies, including glue, scissors, 5 x 8 cardstock and images (can be found in magazines, old calendars, old books, etc.)
