Waiting for the Light: An Advent SoulCollage® Retreat
Led by Gyllian Davies.
Prepare for the coming of the Prince of Peace. Come dive into the rich imagery of the soul. Listen to the heart’s song that has no words, only colour, shapes, texture, images, the language of dreams.
In this SoulCollage® retreat we’ll use guided imagery journey, collage, and listening to each other to turn our hearts and minds toward this time of waiting for Emmanuel, God-with-us, the Peace-maker. Our time together will be accompanied by quiet music and gentle drumming. No experience necessary, only a love of beauty and a curiosity about God in your life.
Preparation for the class: collect magazines, calendars, greeting cards with images that you enjoy or are piqued by. You will need scissors, glue, a roller of some kind (brayer, rolling pin, wine bottle), and matte board backing cut to 5” x 8”. SoulCollage® is a method of self-discovery through the creation and intuitive analysis of a deck of collaged cards. Cards are made by tearing or clipping images (often from magazines) and then combining them, perhaps against a new background image, into a collage.
SoulCollage® meets you wherever you are on this journey called life. You don’t have to be an artist to make SoulCollage® cards. Anyone can create and enjoy this powerful practice.
