This live intensive is a part of the Soul Care Institute offerings, however anyone working in the field of soul care may register at any time.
When we are engaged in the care of others’ souls, it is vital that we make time to nourish our own. Each individual holds personal responsibility for this, and as Soul Care Practitioners we can enhance our work with others by engaging in our own inner exploration. Each of us contains within us a multiplicity of energies which are rooted in the archetypes. Archetypes help to illuminate our shadow places, call us to step fully into our deepest passions in service to the world, and ultimately bring us to a place of greater internal freedom. Our ministry becomes a place of joyful service and presence.
Gather with other Soul Care Practitioners (spiritual directors, chaplains, pastors, therapists, etc.) for four days while we create a safe and sacred container to explore the archetypes at work within us through the expressive arts (including movement, visual art, poetry, writing, and meditation). Some of the archetypes we will explore in this retreat include the Lover, Mother, Sovereign, Orphan, Warrior, and Magician. This will be a time of deep inner work, soul nourishment, and being supported in a community of professional peers.
Join us on the beautiful shores of the Hood Canal with views of the Olympic Mountains to inspire us and lift our hearts. St. Andrew’s House is a lodge-style retreat center which we have to ourselves for our time together. Each person has their own room and delicious meals are lovingly prepared by the retreat center staff. The option of gentle daily yoga will support us in releasing into our bodies’ wisdom.
Previous experience with art, yoga, or archetypes is not required. Limited to 10 participants.
*This educational event provides 25 hours of continuing education that can be applied to the educational hours required by the Board of Chaplaincy Certification Inc.
