Jane Ring Frank, certified SoulCollage® facilitator, will offer a workshop in the stunning Ripley Chapel that incorporates the church’s beautiful Reno Garden labyrinth with a deep spiritual SoulCollage® practice.
SoulCollage® is a collage process for accessing your intuitive wisdom. Even though this is an “art project,” it is accessible, and anyone can do it. You don’t need to be an artist to create beautiful SoulCollage® cards with rich meaning and messages for your life. We will couple our “soul” work with a labyrinth walk

"Magical." "Stunning." "Brought everyone in."

These were some of the comments shared after the True Story Theater interactive performance held on Sunday, January 26.

"You could feel the energy in the room" which lasted beyond the show as audience members mingled and reflected on the experience.
