Format: A retreat, about 3 days

Have you ever pulled an inspiration card and felt it was made just for you? A message, exact and meaningful, lighting your way at exactly the right moment?

Now imagine you could make those cards yourself, out of your own life's journey.

A path I have spent years developing and refining, one that lets us take the events, thoughts and feelings of our lives and turn them into messages and inspiration for the road ahead.

In our shared space, we give voice to the different parts and voices within us. From them, we uncover seeds of insight that take shape as our own personal foraging cards, cards that hold messages tuned exactly to your unique path.

The cards let us get to know the different parts of ourselves, hear the different voices, and let them be recognized and transformed, turning moments into treasures that become milestones and support going forward.

What happens on the retreat?

  • We learn to gather meaningful moments: turning challenges and feelings into golden seeds that will wake up and support us further along the way.
  • We create a space for a deep meeting with ourselves: getting to know the tools we already carry, and learning to stay in real, meaningful contact with our wiser parts.
  • We connect to making and to nature: trying the magic of botanical printing, finding a new way of seeing nature and life itself, and creating through watercolor, pencil, creative writing and more.
Quite a few fellow travelers have already been through this wonderful retreat, and still keep making and growing their foraging cards, in everyday life.

Come get tools that matter, and become your own guide.

A note: there is an option to continue with focused, one on one guidance for making your cards later in the process.

What people say about this workshop

It's almost the end of the season, but I'm still writing this for anyone coming back: run to this workshop of Maya's! One of the most powerful workshops I've experienced, I'm still glowing. It's an amazing journey that lasts 3 days, moving through stations, images and memories from our lives, which turn into beautiful cards with inspiring lines, insights and messages that come out of our inner world. This isn't just another workshop, it's a healing process, one that touches both joy and pain. For anyone who doesn't know her, Maya is an artist and art therapist, and she is pure magic and depth. She weaves into the workshop tools of guided imagery and meditation along with artistic and therapeutic techniques, to distill what already exists within us and wants to come out. Did I already say I recommend it? You don't need to know how to draw or write, just come with an open heart.
