JANUARY 2026 SOUL SEEDS ONE-DAY RETREAT
EXPLORING SOUL ROOTS WITH CURIOSITY AND COMPASSION
Saturday, January 24, 2026, 9:00am to 5:00pm Parkway United Church of Christ 1465 Irving Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27103
DEADLINE TO REGISTER IS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2025
Have the seeds of other's thoughts, beliefs and opinions taken root in the loamy soil of your Soul? Do these roots support your highest good or keep you entangled in what was never really yours?
Step into a sacred circle of creativity, self-inquiry, and embodied wisdom as we explore the Root Chakra, the foundational energy center of physical and emotional balance, security, stability and safety. Through the intuitive practices of collage, wandering, storytelling and journeying with Crystal Singing Bowls, you can explore and tend the rich garden of your Soul and Spirit.
Allow imagination, symbolism, movement, and reflection to awaken your inner guidance and bring balance to body, mind, and spirit.
