Workshop description: Our lives are a series of stories. They are the
warp and wolf of our being. They are what makes us human. This tapestry
is fundamental to who we are. Some threads appear negative, others
positive; some dark and some light. Taken together they are the fabric
that makes us unique children of the Universe. This weekend retreat
will help you accept and harmonize the rich threads in your life
through the archetypes and metaphors found in stories. Through the
process of this retreat you will discover and strengthen your own
stories and begin to utilize them for healing and personal growth.
