Soul Collage & Family Constellations
SoulCollage® is an expressive arts practice that gives form to the wild wisdom and diversity of each maker’s soul, using simple methods and collage materials.

You are welcome to bring your own materials, but materials will be provided.
This Soul Collage retreat will be blended with a Family Constellations practice, first proposed by German therapist and ex-priest Bert Hellinger, which offers tools for recognizing the loyalties and legacies within our family systems, to release unneeded burdens and restore the flow of love between generations and individuals.
