Writing opens windows into our inner life. Writing can keep us centered, help us discover new aspects of ourselves and new perspectives on our lives. When we join as a community of women who write, we discover ourselves and share our discoveries in a safe circle. Karen is poet, wife, mother, grandmother.
"We only need to be willing to learn who we are and what the depth of our soul truly wants and needs to express. While sharing our writing, we learn to trust the process and thereby trust ourselves." Peggy Tabor Millin, Women, Writing and Soul-MakingThe circles will meet in sessions of four weeks. Each meeting will include a time to write, share and an opportunity for the group to respond.

Joy Davy believes that at each stage of life, you are invited to seek a new path, to re-invent yourself yet again. Your vision for your life is based on your desires, values, strengths and dreams. Perhaps it is also given to you, if you just set aside time to listen to that "small, still voice" and receive it. This retreat is both introspective and interactive. Bring a journal and your favorite pens.

Erica Sokol will lead the retreat in creating mandalas. This will be a relaxing art expression exercise, with no talent or art experience necessary. Art materials will be available but feel free to bring your own pastels, markers or colored pencils.

Embodied Myth
Laura Lewis-Barr

Embodied Myth is a depth group process that uses world literature to explore our inner world and our connection to the world around us. Through Embodied Myth, we gain a greater understanding of what is moving in us--under the surface of life. Using the myth as a tool, a guide, and a safe structure we reconnect with unrecognized parts of ourselves. In each session we will read a different fairytale and through reflection, discussion and simple enactments we will encounter the healing wisdom hidden in the story. Come to one session or all; each workshop is independent of the others. No experience is necessary.

Laura Lewis-Barr is an award winning playwright, theatre director, and teacher. Before getting her MA in Drama, Laura pursued a Masters in Psychology. She was the Artistic Director/Professor of Theatre at Sauk Valley College in Dixon and Artistic Director of Inspirare Theatre in Gley Ellyn. During the day, Laura combines her love of theatre, psychology and education in her work as a corporate trainer at Training4Breakthroughs.

Come explore the colors, vibrations and gifts of the world of chakras, which are the energetic centers of our luminous energy field.
Chakras are the pieces that make up our energetic body.
The chakras hold so much of who we are in the unseen world.
Come play in the 'shamanic playground' and explore this magical world of the 7 chakra energetic system. We will have discussion about chakras throughout ancient cultures. We will immerse in the colors, sights and sounds of the chakras. Be prepared to experience, in a connected yet grounded way, your own energy/life force through an exploration of the chakra system.
