When I wrote the story, an essay, “Burgers ‘n Butterflies,” that will be published in Chicken Soup of the Soul: the Magic of Mothers and Daughters, I experienced a good bit of healing. And, the grief opened my heart so that I could share. That experience led to facilitating a precursor to Creativity Retreats...to heal... and then to create. My creativity retreat partner, a musician, had her own experiences of relinquishing grief through her music. She joined me in “Writing to Heal,” a one-day retreat. Last year was the first and we look forward to more for people who’ve blocked creativity with grief, anger, or fear.
If interested, contact me and we’ll let you know the next one.
Or, if you would like your church or organization to sponsor one, we will be happy to schedule a date.
For those who’ve already experienced some healing, you might enjoy “Creativity, Our Soul’s Playground.”
Creativity Retreat.
Schedule with us right away to get the weekend you want for your church or group and let us know which works best:
• “The appetizer” offers a tantalizing taste of techniques to enrich a spiritual life that may seem empty temporarily; or, explore ways around and through “blocks” to your creative yearnings.
Had that and want more?
• Then you might enjoy “the entrée,” an all day workshop where we focus on the quiet, play and breathing, opening to the spirit to bring forth the creative pursuit we prefer.
Then, for women only…”the full course”…
• A weekend—Friday evening through lunch Sunday-- to retreat from distractions, refresh our learnings and renew the creative spirit—while experiencing our soul’s work and joy with paintbrush, pen, guitar, clay, dance, camera, whatever your talents call forth.
“When we nourish our soul, our creativity springs forth,” our beliefs as well as those countenanced over the ages: Carmen Goldthwaite and SJ Mackenzie
I partner with musician and therapist SJ Mackenzie in facilitating these retreats and workshops.
So if you’re ready for your artistic talent(s) to spring forth…schedule a retreat for your group or church or contact us to be notified when a workshop or retreat is forming:
