This retreat invites you into a spacious, creative, and embodied exploration of the labyrinth and the SoulCollage® process—two powerful pathways for navigating the sacred journey of your life. In a time that calls for deep soul-searching, clarity of purpose, and conscious participation in the world, we gather to ask: What is mine to do? Who am I becoming? How might I truly be the change I long to see in the world?
Drawing inspiration from Thomas Berry and Brian Swimme, we approach these practices with the understanding that each of us plays a unique role in the unfolding story of the universe. As Berry reminds us, the “Great Work” of our time is to discover how our personal gifts can contribute to the healing and flourishing of the Earth community. Swimme teaches that the universe evolves through the creative impulses of each being—and that when we listen deeply, we tap into the very creativity that shaped stars, oceans, and life itself.
Both SoulCollage® and the labyrinth serve as timeless languages of the soul—symbolic pathways that allow us to listen beneath the surface of daily life. Each offers a way to access inner resources, intuition, and imaginal insight, and when experienced together they amplify one another, inviting a deeper level of understanding and presence. These practices help us create coherence amid life’s constant movement, widen our perspective, and attune to a higher awareness. In this space of clarity and connection, we begin to sense what Maria Montessori called our cosmic task—the unique contribution each of us is here to make within a complex, ever-changing world.
During our time together, you will be guided through an embodied experience of walking the labyrinth and then invited to integrate your insights by making your own SoulCollage® cards. Through image, symbolism, movement, and reflection, we explore how our personal callings participate in the wider evolutionary creativity of the cosmos—how our choices ripple outward, shaping the world in ways both subtle and profound.
No artistic skill is needed—only curiosity, openness, and a willingness to listen within. No previous experience with either the labyrinth or SoulCollage® is required to attend.
All supplies will be provided, including a rich supply of evocative collage images. You will also receive your own supply kit which will include:
A set of 12 blank cards and clear bags to make your SoulCollage® cards
A bag of inspirational quotations relating to our theme
A set of printed finger labyrinths
Glue stick, and more
This retreat is for anyone who senses a quiet whisper inside calling them toward deeper meaning, clearer purpose, and a more soul-aligned way of living. It is for those who long to pause, to listen, and to reconnect with the wisdom that moves beneath the surface of daily life. Whether you are navigating transition, seeking renewal, or simply yearning for a space to remember who you are becoming, this retreat offers a gentle and spacious path to reconnect with your inner world and the larger story of which you are a part.
