WomanSpirit: SoulCollage® Retreat Day
WomanSpirit Center
Bellevue, Washington
July 11, 2009

SoulCollage® involves working with the language of symbols, images, and archetypes to discover the ongoing "story of you."  Participants intuitively select powerful images that reflect the different parts of who you are.  Using collage, an art process easy for anyone, you can start creating a personal deck of SoulCollage cards that you can add to, delight in, and consult for a lifetime.  Every card is unique and personal, forming a visual journal. Making and consulting these cards is deepening for the soul, while at the same time it is creative and fun. For more information, contact the WomanSpirit Center at http://www.womanspirit.bigstep.com

“Nurturing the Christ Within” SoulCollage® Workshop 
The Center at Saint Andrew's Episcopal Church
Saturday, December 13, 9am-1pm


The Advent SoulCollage® theme has evolved from darkness and shadow to the birthing and womb space where we nurture the Christ within. This theme was inspired as a complement to the theme for St. Andrew’s Sunday evening worship during Advent—“Walking Alongside Mother Mary.” We hope to have a labyrinth available on the Parish Hall floor to walk in conjunction with SoulCollage and other Advent activities. Pre-registration by Dec. 8 $35, or $45 at the door.  Ask about low-income or senior discounts.

SoulCollage® Facilitator Training
with Noelle Remington and Alia Calendar

November 20-23, 2008
Talaris
Conference Center, Seattle, WA
Have you been practicing SoulCollage® for your own personal enrichment and now want to take the next step and share it with your friends, women's group, or church?

Are you a coach, art therapist, social worker, spiritual director, or other helping professional looking for a creative tool to help your clients tap into their intuition and inner wisdom?

Or, are you an artist who's interested in facilitating others' self-discovery through
creative processes?

Please join Noelle Remington, assisted by Maggie Yowell and Alia Calendar, for four rich and rewarding days as we explore and practice the process of "facilitating SoulCollage®." Whether you're an experienced SoulCollager or are newly discovering the process, this training is appropriate for you if you are interested in facilitating SoulCollage workshops and retreats, using SoulCollage in already established

groups, or using the process as an adjunct to your professional work. You don't need a degree or other credentials, just enthusiasm for the process and a desire to share SoulCollage with others.

The weekend will include a lively mix of lecture, experiential learning, reflective writing, and lots of sharing and discussion in both large and small groups. In addition, we will make cards, share cards, do readings, and use our own experiences as teaching examples for the group. We'll cover:
  • How to create a safe, supportive, and sacred space in which participants are empowered to take care of their own well-being and feel free to explore and discover their self through SoulCollage
     
  • Ways to facilitate card-making and invite the artist in everyone to come out and play in a judgment-free environment
     
  • Exercises to use with groups and individuals to help them deepen their understanding of their cards Ideas for facilitating readings and creating new spreads
     
  • Guidelines for modeling and encouraging reflective feedback from participants during readings and card sharing (vs. advice giving or opinion)
     
  • Ways to use SoulCollage in ritual and celebration
     
  • A variety of formats for leading introductory workshops and ways to adapt the process for specific audiences and groups
     
  • Guidance on posting your facilitator bio and workshops on the SoulCollage website and using the interactive components of the SoulCollage® Facilitator community, including the facilitator e-newsletter and listserve
     
  • Coaching to support you in creating a personal vision for facilitating SoulCollage that lights you up and utilizes your unique gifts and interests

HealInn' at Schoolhouse Creek
SoulCollage® Retreat Weekend

November 2-4, 2007
Schoolhouse Creek Inn, Mendocino Coast, California
co-led with Jean Weiss, Interfaith Minister, Chaplain and SoulCollage® Facilitator
This weekend retreat began on Friday with California wine tasting and dinner at a lovely Inn along the Mendocino Coast.  The Inn at Schoolhouse Creek is well renowned for incredible hospitality, warmth and encouragement of spiritual retreats, luxurious pampering, great breakfasts, stunning views and beautiful grounds. 

We met for contemplative and centering practices, having brunch at the Inn, delving deeply into the art of SoulCollage®, and tantalizing our body-spirits with scrumptious home-cooked dinners, and touring an awe-inspiring stretch of the California Coast.  Participants relaxed and renewed in whatever ways spoke most deeply to their souls.
