The fun, creative and relaxing programs we have in store for you!
 
SoulCollage®
is a multi-leveled, creative process which anyone can do. It is art of collage making. All you need is a good pair of scissors, and images you can cut out from magazines, greeting cards, personal photos, postcards, catalogues, and calendars. Your creative spirit flies free when making and learning from the cards you make. SoulCollage® is also a process which begins as simple creative fun, but which suddenly may surprise and awaken you! The cards help you to access your intuition and create an incredible deck of cards with deep personal meaning that will help you with life’s questions. (supplies will be provided)
 
Let your spirit sing
Do you enjoy singing? How about beating on a drum? Wouldn’t it be fun to be able to sing without music, to express your creative side through voice, instrumentation directly from the heart. Join us as we explore the power of our voices in a space free of judgement and held by love and creativity.
 
Creative Movement
When we get out of our heads and just let our bodies flow to the rhythms of music, fun and surprising things happen. Movement stemming from the creative spirit is limited only by our imagination. Move a lot; move a little, it doesn’t matter. Just let our bodies become the messenger of the spirit inside.
 
Sacred Geometry
Sacred geometry has been described as having both a contemplative side and a practical side, as well as an intuitive and intellectual side. In this workshop we will be working with one of the oldest symbols on the planet, The Flower of Life; drawing the flower of life is an activity both right brained and left brained.
Please join us in this workshop where we will learn to draw this ancient symbol. Bring a few sheets of your favorite scrapbooking paper or choose from the many we have available. 
 
Dreamwork
Every dream contains within itself the elements of every part of our lives- the social, psychological, physical, sexual, spiritual parts, and more. In this workshop we will focus on how these energies contribute to our lives and how our dreams can lead us to unblock or enhance our inborn creativity. Join experienced facilitator and dream worker, Bonney Parker and she gives you the tools and guidelines for remembering, understanding and talking about dreams in a facilitated group setting..
