GATHERING IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS: This retreat will be strictly managed to minimize the risks of respiratory disease transmission. The meeting room we have is spacious, and we can easily maintain social distance. We won't share tools, and we'll be disinfecting areas routinely. We'll wear masks when in close contact, indoors or out. The retreat facility offers lots of outdoor space. And, your retreat leader is a public health professional who is both an epidemiologist and virologist. Things will continue to evolve for many months, and cancellation may happen even with this rescheduling. If you have questions or concerns, contact Michele.
Since 2009, SoulCollage® Facilitator Michele Manos has been creating and sharing meaningful ways to explore your SoulCollage® deck as a whole - honoring and integrating your ever-evolving aspects. These Card Games offer an understanding of the cards’ intricate relationships, and a chance to take inventory of your deck and yourself. Ideas for new cards come forth, as do new perspectives on old ones. A retreat is the perfect setting to learn new approaches, make new cards, and share your own ideas with others who facilitate the magic of SoulCollage®.
This special weekend will include a taste of some of Michele's newest and most popular SoulCollage® Card Game "Playing with a Full Deck" activities. Plus, we'll hear about new ideas and "best practices" from others in the group. You're certain to come away with many ideas for your personal practice, your SoulCollage® facilitation and beyond. Expect plenty of free time for card making and enjoying the sanctuary spaces of the Center.
This gathering will include learning, sharing, individual activities and group rituals - imagine the perfect blend of a retreat, a workshop, a conference of colleagues, and a meeting of friends.
Please join Michele and a group of kindred spirits for this weekend of community with other Facilitators! Enjoy The Casa's hospitality and serenity in the beautiful desert. The Center has a pool, hot tub, labyrinth, and lovely grounds. Arrive early or extend your stay to make the most of your trip to the Phoenix area. The facility is conveniently located within 20 minutes of the airport. It's an urban oasis with lovely mountain views. Private and shared rooms are available. Space for several commuters, too.
The retreat sessions will begin at 3 pm Friday and will conclude by 4:30 pm on Sunday.
