Dear Pilgrim Soul,
I'd love you to join me in Ireland, land of enchantment and magic, in May this year. The wonderful Essence of Mulranny Retreat Center has generously invited me to teach at their beautiful Center in the quaint coastal town of Mulranny overlooking Clew Bay, and I'm so looking forward to exploring the theme of our growing edges, the place where possibility resides, using the soul languages of SoulCollage® and the labyrinth. The wild Irish landscape offers us an opportunity to connect to our wild soul, and express our unique voice, and this retreat offers you time and space to explore this inner landscape of your soul.
Our time in the studio will include creating your own collage finger labyrinth and exploring ways of adding the energy of the labyrinth to your SoulCollage® cards. In addition I'll be sharing a number of my favorite mixed media techniques to add deeper meaning to your SoulCollage® cards. If you've never used mixed media with your SoulCollage® cards, you will be delighted to find ways to expand the narrative of your cards with paint, shape and texture.
I'll be providing all the supplies you need for our time together, and each participant will receive their own 60 page book of Celtic images curated specially for this retreat. Each participant will also receive their own fabric bag with a hand-stitched finger labyrinth on the pocket to hold the SoulCollage® cards they create.
If you are feeling a little lost on your path right now, the labyrinth and the cards you make can help guide you to listen to the wisdom of your soul.
Ireland is a land where the imagination is alive. It is home to poets and fairies, to storytellers and legends. We will allow these energies to percolate and seep into the creative cauldron of possibility we create together.
Ritual and contemplation will connect us to the mystical energy of place as we walk the labyrinth made of ancient stones at Essence of Mulranny, and as we explore Achill Island and walk a temporary labyrinth we will create on the beach (tides and weather permitting).
Your eight days will be a perfect blend of studio time, delightful excursions, cultural experiences and of course, plenty of free time to rest and explore! You can arrive, unpack your suitcase and truly relax, at the gorgeous Essence of Mulranny Retreat center, operated by artist, Lora Murphy.
We will be visiting enchanting villages, strolling along the beautiful coastline, touring ancient castles and ruins, picnicking in the heather fields and gathering creative inspiration along the way!
If you've ever wanted to visit Ireland with a group of like-minded souls, in a way that is gentle and gives you time to let your soul speak to you, I'd love you to join me.
Travel is a way I get to expand my growing edges. I've discovered lots of ways to make it easy and enjoyable and I'll be happy to share my tips with you if you are nervous about traveling. Feel free to email me.

With love and blessings,
Catherine
