Saying goodbye to Summer can be sad. However, the Fall Equinox under the Harvest Moon can be a delightful time of gathering the harvest of our lives and finding wisdom in the changes of the seasons. We get to watch the glorious color changes of the leaves and their release during this powerful shift in our environment.

The animal kingdom is alive with transition, yet also trying to find a new balance between aliveness and slowing down. Animals and birds busy themselves to gather the bountiful harvest from the Summer preparing for migration to new warmer areas. Insects begin to slow down, spiders lay their eggs for next Spring, butterflies have frayed wings, and caterpillars spin cocoons. Nature is having her last wild celebration before she goes quiet for the Winter.

Fall brings a time of release from the past, preparing for and embracing the future. Summer leaves us reluctantly, with varying weather. We welcome Fall which invites us to find balance between those dreamy warm summer nights and the explosion of Fall beauty. It is at this time we need to invite in the bounty of our lives as a way to ground us. It is time to ask these questions: What have I grown this past Summer? What am I harvesting for the Fall? Where do I need to find balance in preparing for the quiet season of Winter?

The creative practice of SoulCollage® offers a way to access that wisdom of balance. In this relaxing and inspiring day retreat, we will explore the wisdom of nature and the animal kingdom through the Companions Suit of SoulCollage® which is all about finding balance in your body, mind and soul using the seven chakras as a backdrop.

Come spend a magical day of creative self-care with a small group of like-minded sojourners, celebrating Fall and honoring yourself through SoulCollage®! You will dive deep into the creative process of making SoulCollage® cards and journaling about the cards’ “uniquely yours” wisdom.

Whether you are just starting or are seasoned in making SoulCollage® cards, you will love this celebration of Fall retreat! No art experience necessary.

Once you have registered, you will receive a Welcome email with more details about your day retreat. All supplies and snacks will be provided. Bring a bagged lunch and lidded cup for drink.
