Retreats and Workshops

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.

The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them.

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!

“The soul requires duration of time…rich, thick, deep, velvety time…and it thrives on rhythm. Souls can’t be hurried or harried.”
