SoulCollage®
SoulCollage® is a creative expression method using image, intuition and imagination to make 5x8 collages. We use wordless, prepared images, torn and cut apart with the sound of scissors to be rearranged and put back together with the scent of glue, in new forms guided by the interior sight. We use emergent deep listening to voice and scribe these new energies with others, and we get the blessing of hearing back the profundity of our own inner guidance.
Unplug to Connect: Rediscovering Presence & Purpose
Are you feeling disconnected from yourself and others amidst today’s digital noise? Are you a creator? Do you work entirely online or in a hybrid format? While technology for many of us has allowed ease in simplifying and completing daily tasks, and created new platforms for us to be appreciated and seen; for many of us we also feel there is something missing.
"Unplug to Connect" is a transformative workshop designed to help you explore and reset your relationship with technology, integrating our higher selves into the equation. Through mindfulness, embodiment, and a soul-guided exploration, you’ll rediscover a sense of presence, purpose, and connection to the self.
Drum Making Ceremony
The drum is a sacred instrument that carries the gift of vibration and rhythm, connecting our hearts with the heartbeat of the Earth and the elements.
Central to ceremonies of traditions worldwide, it holds a powerful medicine for healing, meditation, celebration, and prayer.
In this ceremony, Matt and Hillary Canale will guide us in creating our own ceremonial hand drum, and teach a unique drum-tying technique.
Participants will be guided from start to finish, first in painting our own drum frame, and then tying our drum and creating a mallet.
Love Canale - World Music, Warm Sounds, & Winter Infusions
Join Matt and Hillary Canale for an evening of original music, mantra, and meditative sounds. We’ll share songs that uplift the spirit and celebrate the beauty of life, creating a warm space to spend a winter evening together. To compliment the music, we’ll be offering a specially crafted seasonal herbal infusion, made with care by Hillary, drawing from her studies in Ayurveda and herbalism. This is a perfect opportunity to recharge and enjoy an inspiring night of music and wellness. All ages welcome!
