This six day, five night retreat led by Lucy Schaaphok and Catherine Anderson is a time to pause and clarify the path you are on.
Both the labyrinth and the SoulCollage® process can be used as doorways of transformation awakening us to our unique gifts. Both modalities give us ways to access our own inner resources and intuition. Using one of them alone will make a difference in your life, but used together they amplify and deepen each other because they are both languages of the soul. They enable us to access our inner world, deepen our understanding of ourselves and expand our consciousness.
Both processes allow us to create a sense of order out of the information that bombards us from all directions, and both encourage us to develop a higher level of awareness which enables us to thrive in the complex and ever-changing world in which we live.
“Walking the labyrinth immediately takes us into a process world where we can see between the lines of linear thought through to our imagination and intuition.”
Activities will include:
Creating your own simple collage Finger Labyrinth
Creating SoulCollage® cards around the “Re’s” of walking the labyrinth (Remember, Release, Receive, Reflect)
Ways of adding the symbolic energy of the labyrinth to your SoulCollage® cards
Card Readings
Labyrinth walks and rituals
Walking a Damanhur Spiral
Meditation
Movement
