“Your vision will become clear only when you look in to your heart. Who looks outside, dreams, who looks inside, awakens” - Carl Jung
________________________________
As we approach Winter Solstice, we mirror nature and go inwards, laying down our roots in to the soil, returning inward, to a nourishing space. It is a time to nestle in, to plant the seeds, to tender and care for ourselves.
This is the time to nurture what lays dormant, that which lies deep within us. What is it inside of you that needs nurturing over these coming Winter months? What it is that has been buried that longs to be set free? This is the incubation period to begin to ready ourselves for what we want to birth come Spring. A time to nurture our creative seed within ready for the flourishing.
Honour yourself and this time of incubating and nourishing in a safe sacred space in our Winter Solstice Vision Board Workshop where we will guide you to create a vision of this seedling and address what it needs over the coming months.
And so if this invitation speaks to you I invite you to join us in a guided journey to connect with your inner vision….
Workshop Aims:
- Connection to our inner wisdom and alignment with your purpose through meditation and creative expression
- Change the narrative of your story and write the story that you want to be living
- Create a vision board to take home and put up somewhere to nourish your creative seed over the winter months
- Create flow and alignment in your life 
- To vision in community in a held space
- Create a clear expression of you &amp; your vision in the world
Workshop Outline:
The workshop will be a three hour journey of reflection, meditation, journaling culminating in the collaging of a vision board for you to take home with you. We will do this by looking inward, to your soul, your true essence. to re-discover the original vision you were born with which is the path to your personal sense of fulfillment and your unique gift to return to the world.
The unfolding will be shared in a safe and supportive space. As facilitators we will provide a beautiful sacred space to spend the time in, to nurture and go inwards. Vision boards are a creative tool to express your vision in image and metaphor, to tell your story in a poetic and rich way. Images are a powerful tool for accessing the unconscious mind and keeping you in alignment with your vision.
This is a powerful process to do in community, the support and resonance that is created by saying your intentions and visions out loud to a circle of inspired people will help you to step in to the vision that you hold for yourself. This is only a three hour investment of time, but one that may set a clear path of purpose for your 2017. Please note we have a maximum capacity of ten people to ensure the high quality of our events, so book early to avoid disappointment.
