Women’s Writing Retreat 2012

The Art & Language of Soul Making
with Kay Adams and Dana Reynolds

Mon-Fri, Jul 30-Aug 3 2012
Loretto Retreat Center, Denver CO

Kay and Dana are calling the circle for a five-day creative immersion to inspire your soul and personal vision.

Each day will center around a gentle rhythm, combining journaling, poetry, sacred art-making, collage, dreamwork, meditation, and story. During our time together you will craft a special journal to express and reflect your personal wisdom, heart’s desires, dreams, and life-maps.  Through art and language you will receive tools to renew and enrich your creative spirit.

Dana and Kay have presented this retreat twice before, once at Asilomar in California, and once at Benet Pines, Monument, Colorado. This year we are at the Loretto Spirituality Center in southwest suburban Denver, with inspirational views of lakes, mountains, and sunsets, private rooms with full baths*, and generous meeting space with room for artmaking. [*Three rooms are double rooms, all with full bath. A few single rooms have in-room toilet and sink, with hallway showers.]

Space is limited to 20 participants. Room assignment is based on registration order. Applicants should have experience with journal/therapeutic writing practice and/or spiritual practice. Please submit letter of interest to KAdamsLPC at gmail dot com in which you briefly discuss your writing/spiritual practice(s) and what attracts you to this retreat.

Dana and Kay met at the first international Journal Conference in May, 1991, which Kay conceived and produced. They immediately recognized in each other a soul sister dedicated to art and writing as transformative acts. They have now been devoted friends and colleagues for more than 20 years.

Dana Reynolds is the founder of Sacred Life-Arts, an online sanctuary, classroom, and resource center devoted to bringing creative inspiration and spiritual illumination to women.  She is a spiritual director and the author of Ink and Honey (Winter 2012).

Kay Adams, a pioneer in the field of journal therapy, is the founder/director of the Center for Journal Therapy and its professional training division, the Therapeutic Writing Institute.  She is the author of six books on therapeutic writing, including the best-selling Journal to the Self.
