In this cultural moment, it is more important than ever that women take the time to restore and renew ourselves, for our own benefit and for that of the world around us. We invite you to join us for a transformative weekend focused on using SoulCollage® and writing to facilitate the claiming and unleashing of the wise woman within you.
​
In this retreat you will learn how to engage in the intuitive and creative process of SoulCollage®. (To learn more about SoulCollage®, click here.) Led by Karen, we will gather images that resonate with us, create our SoulCollage® cards, and be provided with the opportunity to receive the messages they have for us. In addition, Lisa will lead you in some journaling and creative writing exercises that will complement our work with the cards. Karen and Lisa hold the intention that you will have a safe space to relax, create, and discover, feeling refreshed and renewed at weekend's end.
Will you join us? This retreat is open to all women, regardless of experience with SoulCollage® or writing. We can take up to 10 women with us on this retreat, so please reserve your spot now! Questions? Email lisa@marketstreetwriters.com.
Here’s what some of our participants from previous years had to say:

“Completely loved the place and all the activities. Can’t wait to do it again!”
“Thank you so much! Your gentle guidance and support help the flowers bloom in our gardens.”
“All was wonderful—the facilitators were perfect and I enjoyed being allowed some free time to be on my own. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
