The weaving of light and shadow: A day of autumn equilibrium and SoulCollage® in Hartley Wintney

Description

🍂 Autumn Equinox SoulCollage® Day Retreat.

Join us as we gather at the turning of the year, celebrating the Autumn Equinox and the moment when light and darkness stand in balance.

This is a beautiful threshold in the year — a moment to pause between the fullness of summer and the inward pull of winter. As the days begin to shorten, we’re invited to notice what has ripened in our lives, what we are ready to gather in, and what might now be ready to be released.

There is something powerful about coming together in creative community at this time of year, sharing in the warmth, reflection and spaciousness that autumn brings.

A light lunch, refreshments and all materials included.

The SoulCollage® Experience

When we come together to make SoulCollage® in community, something special unfolds. It’s a bit like birds roosting.

This is a creative, intuitive process that asks only that you bring your curious self!

No artistic experience is needed. None at all.

Just your presence.

Images have a way of speaking to us — not through logic, but through instinct, feeling, and inner knowing.

They call to us quietly, opening doorways into a deeper stream of wisdom that already lives within you.

During the workshop, you’ll be guided to:

* Notice the images that draw your attention

* Create your own unique collage cards

* Listen inwardly to what these images want to share

It’s a process that is both simple and deeply profound.

🌿 The Setting

This is an in-person event held in a beautiful creative studio in the charming village of Hartley Wintney.

You may wish to linger afterwards — perhaps exploring the local craft and antique shops, or enjoying a gentle stroll around the village green just outside the studio. It’s a truly special setting for a day of creativity and connection.

🍁 The Autumn Equinox

At the Autumn Equinox, light and darkness meet in balance.

We’re standing at a threshold: summer is beginning to loosen its grip, the evenings are drawing in, and nature is turning towards a time of gathering and release.

There is still warmth and abundance around us, but also an invitation to slow down and listen.

What has flourished?

What is ready to be gathered in?

And what might we gently let go of as we move towards the darker half of the year?

Together, through SoulCollage®, we’ll explore these questions through images, intuition and creative play — making space for whatever wants to emerge

It is powerful to come together in creative community at these times of seasonal shift, and share in the Soul Shed spirit of warmth, openness, and possibility that supports both reflection and joyful expression.

A light lunch, refreshments and all materials are included. Bring a favourite journal and something to write with!
