SEEKING THE WAY OF BEAUTY: A SOULCOLLAGE RETREAT
“The soul speaks in image,” according to C. G. Jung. How are you seeking to create a soulful, beauty-filled life? Beauty is not skin deep. It is the spark kindled in the soul, the light reflected in nature, and the gold thread that connects the rhythm of our days. Pause and refresh your spirit. Give the world a break from its imperfections and seek beauty. This retreat will use the tools of soul collage to explore beauty. The act of creating collages forms a basis for seeing with the eyes of faith what God is up to in our lives. We will reflect on beauty use journaling, guided imagery and small group sharing to support our collage-making and engage the spiritual journey more deeply.
