Description
This “In the Woods” series of day retreats provides an opportunity
to explore collage as a form of creative expression while mindfully experiencing the seasons of the natural world in central North Carolina.
Each of the eight independent sessions combines SoulCollage® and the Celtic Wheel of the Year. SoulCollage® is a system for working with found images to better know and honor oneself by accessing inherent wisdom. The Celtic Wheel of the Year is an ancient calendar guided by the positions of the sun through the seasons. Combining SoulCollage® with the Wheel of the Year is a way of understanding your personal journey in the context of the outside world, or vice versa.
These mini retreats are appropriate for both those who are practiced in SoulCollage® and those who are not. Participants will receive all the supplies needed to make 5” x 8” SoulCollage® cards, plus Sacred Wheel Journal pages by Ginger Meek Allen for personal reflection. An optional demonstration of the SoulCollage® method and process will be provided at each retreat.
Your unique way of engaging the outdoors is welcome. Whether you’re someone who hikes barefoot or someone who sits by an open window during a rainstorm, the woods of Cedar Cross always offer something for those who visit.
Attend just one retreat, come to a few, or come every time to enhance your relationship to nature’s gifts and challenges. Plan to bring lunch for yourself, perhaps including foods that are in season at the time.
