“Creativity takes Courage” – Henri Matisse

ballsThis day long retreat of fibre-crafting (wet and needle felting) and movement meditation (Ecstatic Dance) is meant for everyone: beginners to the well-practised. With Loving Kindness, we grow in Sisterhood. “Create and Meditate … with HeartFelt Jules” will feed your body and soul while you create something unique for someone special… maybe even yourself?!

What is FELTING, you ask?

Think you’re not creative? Come let the wool do the deciding for you! OR bring your favourite fibres and tools and share your love of felting.

We will work with various wools, natural and dyed, as we consciously connect with our natural materials and the receivers of our handmade creations. We will use barbed needles (not scary!) and ‘agitation’ to bind the fibres and let your creative spirit shine!

Come inspired with a small design or symbol (although picture guides will also be provided) to needle felt onto your zippered pouch and dream in colour about the exfoliating soap bars you’ll be making!

What is ECSTATIC DANCE, you ask?

Do you have trouble sitting still to meditate – or perhaps you’re looking for another movement or meditative outlet? Enter your body and your being through movement to meditative music – a practice that needs to be experienced to be truly appreciated. The body knows.

Dance Our Way Home™ (DOWH) is for everybody who longs to connect their spirit with their body.

DOWH is a gentle and healing movement practice that takes us on a sacred journey to tap into deeper connections with our own beautiful, uniquely creative spirit, and encourages connection with others in a warm and accepting community. It’s an invitation to experience the joy and rejuvenation of moving, enjoy a sense of homecoming and belonging and a chance to nourish yourself with love and care.

A DOWH session offers a mix of free-style and guided dance, relaxation and guided imagery, combined with life-affirming, spiritual practices. You’ll be led on a spiral dance journey accompanied by a varied and vibrant mix of music – to connect to yourself, to community, and then back home to yourself. You don’t have to worry about following any steps because there are no steps!

This particular spiral dance will be rooted around the invitation to “Just Be”. Feel your feet on the Earth Mother, reconnect with self, spirit and body. Acceptance of self is the way to joy and freedom.
