REGISTRATION IS CLOSED.
STAY TUNED FOR INFORMATION ABOUT LISA AND COLLEEN’S NEXT RETREAT
We’ve all lived stories of great celebration and challenge. Those experiences, overflowing with tears, laughs, cautions, and lessons, can animate and smooth the pages of our next chapters as we mine them for their deep wisdom, and use them for illumination.
How satisfying and fun it is to find the gold of our own personal stories—some stories, so close and seemingly ordinary that the golden thread, the wealth of meaning hasn’t yet been discovered, even to ourselves.
Please join us in retreat to uncover your golden thread and weave it into your life. We will write, sit in the near- autumn sun, make SoulCollage® cards, walk the labyrinth, and enjoy personal exploration in the context of a carefully tended women’s circle.
Each day will feature the following:
Yoga or Dance
Writing prompts in creative non-fiction (memoir, poetry, flash fiction, free-style journaling, automatic writing)
Making and consulting SoulCollage® cards
Large and small group conversation
Unscheduled hours
Relaxation
About Colleen and Lisa

About The Transfiguration Retreat Center
Located on the grounds of the Society of Transfiguration in the town of Glendale, wooded paths, benches, a swing and other areas for private meditation are located throughout the tranquil campus.
Over labor day weekend, we’ll have the entire wooded campus to ourselves (along with the small group of nuns in residence).

About our Guest Facilitators
Fran Mandel will guide us in making our own bead embroidered pendants. Teaching a variety of jeweley design workshops, Fran’s work has been featured in professional craft magazines. She is passionate about the way crafting lifts the spirit, quells stress, and opens all types of new creative windows. Fran is equally passionate about her teen daughter, husband, furr kids, and social work.
Barbara Teague will lead us in morning yoga. “I have been hooked on yoga since the first class I attended nearly 30 years ago. Using our breath to link our physical movement, asana with our spirit while working toward clarity and calm of mind during practice, deepens our ability to live a more centered and fulfilling life off the mat. I am passionate about sharing this with others. I have a background both in nursing and psychology, have earned my 500 hour RYT and also believe that yoga is valuable and beneficial through all ages and stages of our lives.”

“If I waited for perfection, I would never write a word."
~Margaret Atwood
“Stir together the ingredients of your imagination and intuition with a few powerful, cut-out images, and you can create your first SoulCollage® card. After that you will probably want to make a second, a third, and, over time, many more. Gradually you can create your deck of very personal cards. ...they will help you explore your Soul, your shadow, and your inborn gifts”
~Seena Frost, Founder of Soulcollage®
