The Wisdom of Colors:
An Online Workshop
September 14th, 10am-11:00am (Central Time)
When all you see is the color orange during meditation, what might that mean? When green and blue are the dominant colors in a dream, what wisdom do they hold?
Let's explore the ways color tells us the truth and offers insight into what is needed.
Register for one workshop ($10) or purchase an event pass for the 2021 Day 7 Virtual Self-Care Summit here.

POSTPONED- Standing Stones & Stories from the Pandemic: Heal, Honor, & Remember
August 28, 2021
An in-person retreat in Lebanon, Tennessee
9am-4:30pm
(Limited to 12 participants)
Standing stones were set up by ancient people (including the Israelites!) as reminders of God's presence and action during a significant time in their lives. This time of pandemic has been significant.
Rather than going back to life as normal (can we even do that?!), let's allow this season of loss and longing to lead us to a deeper, more life-giving way of being in this world.
We have stories to share. You have wisdom within you springing from your story. Let's gather for a guided time of sharing with each other.
Sponsored by Wisdom Tree Collective
Donations to Wisdom Tree Collective welcome.
Lunch and snacks provided.
Email Kasey to register.

"Centering Prayer is a prayer practice that provides a time and space to come into the presence of God and just 'be.'
Although the power and presence of God is all around, it has helped me connect and understand the idea of having a
personal relationship with Jesus. It's a time to be present to God in silence and "abide with Him" as it says in John 15:4.
Centering Prayer is a way to rest in God. It calms my mind and soothes my soul and the best thing is - you can't do it wrong.
You just show up and God does the rest." - Marla
