SoulCollage® Retreat:
Chakra Companions
September 27th-28th @ Braving Star Farms

In this highly requested retreat we will explore the 7 energy centers, or chakras, of the body.

Using meditation and movement, you will be invited to discover your wild animal companions for each of these centers, and create corresponding SoulCollage® cards. 

Using your intuition, you arrange and collage images on a matte board (typically 5x8) that will speak to different dimensions and natures of your soul.

In SoulCollage® there are transpersonal cards and four suits: Committee, Council, Community, and Companion. The Companion Suit is unique in that it is made up of only 7 cards, and in this retreat you will have an opportunity to discover all 7 of your companions.

​Even if you already have some of your Companion Suit, this will still be a great opportunity to revisit and work with your cards to gain new wisdom. You might even discover a new facet of your existing companion that wants a space in your deck. 

"Many traditions recognize the specificity of certain areas of the body and associate it with one or more psychological functions, with a particular aspect of consciousness, a color, a classical element, and other distinguishing characteristics. Among these traditions we find the Chakra Theory adopted by Seena Frost to create the Companion Suit.

Each area (or field) builds on the previous one starting at the base of the spine and reaching the top of the head. Regardless of specific beliefs, these areas represent universal and crucial aspects of our being.

We will explore the wisdom our Companions offer in support to the well being of our Wild Self. Seena chose animals as the best energetic Companions because of their unbroken connection with their instincts and with their own unique and unquestioned nature."

I have been exploring the world of SoulCollage® since 2017, and became a SoulCollage® Facilitator in 2020. There are so many Oracle and Tarot decks on the market, but there is nothing quite like having your own personalized deck to help you remember your own wisdom, bring balance, and support you daily. And there is no art experience needed as if you can cut and glue, you can do SoulCollage®!

If you are staying at the retreat cabin please contact me if you are interested in extending your time at the cabin either before or after the retreat.
Please note the retreat cabin is not handicapped accessible. 

Internet/Phone Access 
Since you will be in the country you may not have a good signal and it may be challenging to make phone calls or check emails. If your phone service is with AT&T, you should be okay. If you are staying at the retreat cabin there will be a cellphone at the cabin for all participants to use if needed to make a call or to briefly hotspot, but please know there is no WIFI. Hopefully you can enjoy the opportunity to disconnect.  

Cancellation Policies 
If you need to cancel your spot in the event/retreat, I can offer a refund (minus a $50 non-refundable registration fee) if I am able to fill your spot from the waiting list. If I am not able to fill your spot, I can offer you a credit for a future event/retreat based on the timeline below:
     If you cancel more than two months prior to your scheduled event/retreat, 100% of your event/retreat fee, minus a $50 rebooking fee, can be applied as a credit towards a future event/retreat, which must be used within one year. 
    If you cancel your event/retreat within two months of your scheduled event/retreat, 75% of your event/retreat fee, minus a $50 rebooking fee, can be applied as a credit towards a future event/retreat, which must be used within one year. You will forfeit 25% of the price you paid for the event/retreat.
     If you cancel your event/retreat within one month of your scheduled event/retreat, 50% of your event/retreat fee, minus a $50 rebooking fee,  can be applied as a credit towards a event/future retreat, which must be used within one year. You will forfeit 50% of the price you paid for the event/retreat.
     If you cancel your event/retreat within two weeks of your scheduled event/retreat, you will forfeit your entire event/retreat payment.
     I am also happy to transfer your spot to someone else who is able to take your place in the scheduled event/retreat with no transfer fee regardless of when you cancel. In this case, you will need to find the new participant yourself and receive reimbursement directly from them. 
     If the event/retreat does not meet the minimum number of participants, or in the case of a natural disaster, COVID-related closures or surges, or any other unforeseen reasons to cancel the event/retreat, I reserve the right to make any changes necessary to the event/retreat. In this case, I will offer you a full refund and/or the option to book another event/retreat. However, I will not be responsible for any changes made to your airfare or travel arrangements. For peace of mind, I recommend purchasing "cancel for any reason" trip insurance in case cancellations or changes arise.
