Autumn Equinox Art and Movement Gathering
I’m delighted to partner with Art&Soul at Trillium United Church in St. Catharines this month!
We will be offering a time to explore and experience the gifts of creativity and movement as ways to care for the soul and open to the Sacred.
Join us on Saturday, Sept 20th, from 2-4 PM as we welcome in the season of Autumn and notice where we might be invited to release and receive.
During our time together you will be guided in a time of breath, embodied prayer, and free movement with music. Then we’ll get creative with images and collage cards that we can take home.
All are welcome.
Admission is $20.
Email the office@trillium.com to register.

Saturday, October 18th,
at Mount Carmel Monastery in Niagara Falls
Join me and my dear colleague Sharon Soderholm for a transformative day designed to guide us through the tender landscape of loss and the profound beauty of appreciation. We will create a sacred and supportive space to acknowledge, honour, and integrate our experiences of grief, while simultaneously cultivating a deeper connection to gratitude.
Weaving together reflection and ritual, music and poetry, guided journaling, time for individual contemplation and conversation with kind souls, this will be a slow paced and restorative retreat. Included in our day together will be a time to create a handmade gratitude & grief journal with a simple book binding technique. A delicious lunch is provided!
