Art Journaling is a way to explore your creativity using words and images. Each day we will make a different mini art journal and explore a creative technique (collage, doodling, found poetry, etc.). Absolutely no previous experience or artistic ability is required. By the end of the week you will have a collection of art journals in a variety of styles and sizes. You'll also have lots of ideas for how you can fill them to overflowing with your own creative ideas.

C
ome, have fun and
develop a new perspective on growing older. L
eave feeling empowered and inspired, ready to look at the years ahead in a fresh, new way!
Let's ensure that the decades following the years of paid work and homemaking are a time of creativity, engagement, mentoring, and compassionate accompaniment. After all, that could be a third of our lives! Let's build a culture in
which aging people learn what it means to grow into eldership, a time when experience and wisdom become a resource and gift for community. As a group of people 55 and older, we will spend time together listening, remembering, exploring, practicing, and creating as we become the kind of community that will make this kind of difference in our kind of world.

NOW I BECOME MYSELF: A CIRCLE OF TRUST RETREAT
Monday, September 18 at 3 p.m. to Thursday, September 21 at 12 pm
$350
Ages 18 and up
WITH DIANNE BAKER
The Circle of Trust® approach
is distinguished by principles and practices intended to create a process of shared exploration - in retreats, programs and other settings - where people can find safe space for greater awareness, to nurture personal and professional integrity and to summon the courage to act on hard-earned wisdom. In the hands of knowledgeable and skilled facilitators, this approach has the power to transform individuals, families, workplaces and communities.
A 'hidden wholeness' underlies our lives. Our lives can become fragmented and divided for countless reasons. We are at peace and experience deep joy when heart, mind, body and soul are aligned. This retreat will build a sense of trustworthy community, and participants will learn ways of being courageously present for others. We will use poems, songs and visuals to encounter our own inner wisdom.
Our time together will be structured and spacious. By intention, you will have ample opportunity for personal reflection and relaxation, time alone but in community, time interacting and engaging with others in the group. The practice of Clearness Committee will be included.
