 2007 SoulCollage Retreat-
Creating Inner Sanctuary with SoulCollage
May 4-6, 2007 in beautiful Essex, MA
Join us for three days of creativity, community, and renewal as we explore the depths of SoulCollage at this beautiful retreat center located in the lush forest of Essex County, near the ocean. There will be lots of time for card making, sharing our cards and stories, and readings with our decks.
There are only 5 spaces left out of 15. Does one of them have YOUR name on it? Give yourself a holiday gift that you'll never forget.

 Soul Nourishment
Books, movies, music, & websites to support your inner work as you dive deeper into your soul....
Books:
Finding the Deep River Within, by Abby Seixas. This is a must-have for anyone who is longing to spend more time soaking in their own soul-ness. Seixas brilliantly outlines six (highy do-able) ways that will lead you accessing your own "deep river," the spiritual soul that runs through all of us. These include: making time to be alone, saying no (creating boundaries), doing what you love, and .... well, read it and find out! I love this book because the author also addresses all the reasons and excuses we give for not having enough time to dig deeper into our own souls. And... she talks about the "inner critic" and the "perfectionist," both of whom play a huge role in whether or not we are able to access this "deep river."
Collage Discovery Workshop, by Claudine Hellmuth. This book is loaded with ideas and techniques for creating multi-media collages. I took a workshop with Claudine a few years ago at the Art and Soul Retreat in
Oregon
, and found her to be a wonderful, inspiring teacher. The step-by-step photos are excellent, and easy to use for beginners in collage as well as the more experienced. Try creating some of these unique collages for yourself.... they make great SoulCollage card backgrounds!
Movies:
Michael, with John Travolta, Jean Stapleton, William Hurt, Andie McDowell, Bob Hoskins. 1996. Tired of the same ol' holiday movies year after year? Then give this one a try. I guarantee, you WILL believe in angels after you've seen this movie!
Music:
Long, Long Ago: A Jazz Celebration of Christmas, Chanukah and Kwanzaa, by Lynette Washington. Brought up in the Gospel tradition,
New York
native
Washington
sings an admirably ecumenical variety of seasonal songs from many traditions. Now only $9.99. Listen to samples from all tracks.
Noel, by Joan Baez. Excellent addition to any holiday collection. As low as $11.00 now! Listen to samples from all tracks.
 Don't forget to check out CDBaby.com, a great new place to buy cd's. Their New Age section is a must for all serious SoulCollagers!
