A brand new SoulPlay retreat this spring!
Becoming YourSelf: from bud to bloom
A day-retreat to encourage, inspire & enliven you.
What is your soul saying to you these days?
Do you know how to hear and listen to it?
This workshop is designed to help you slow down so you can wake up to your life and love well.
Are you wanting to become more of who you were made to be?
Curious about what the next season might hold for you?
Desiring the inner clarity and calm to take your next step?
Processing a transition, a loss, or a longing that feels central to your way of moving in the world?
Wanting space to “just be” and spend time with your Self?
We’ll fully embrace and enjoy the deep aliveness of the spring season on the gorgeous retreat grounds of Ignatius Jesuit Centre in Guelph, Ontario. We’ll spend time both inside and outside surrounded by the beauty of the season.
Through a series of gently guided reflections, thoughtful teaching, and experiential exercises, you will have the quiet space, time, and direction to explore your inner life and gain more clarity, confidence and calm.
This is a perfect workshop to attend on your own, or a group of friends.
We’ll focus on four key areas that will provide a deeper connection to yourself as you explore:
Emerging from Hibernation: There’s a good and natural cycle of dying and rising. Discover your personal areas of resistance, and a path for new growth to form.
The Buds of Possibility: We’ll explore all that may want to emerge in you, and understand the power of a good question to guide you, learning how to wait well, even without all the answers.
The Sap of the Soul: With wonder and curiosity, we’ll consider the sweet aliveness and flourishing that is all around and available to enjoy.
Blooms of Becoming: Life isn’t perfect, but it can be deeply meaningful. Walk away with hands-on tips & every-day practices that will support your journey of becoming more yourself into the season ahead.
Whether you have an active faith in God, are in a season of doubt and deconstruction, or exploring your spiritual path without any particular religious affiliation, this workshop is a safe place to pay attention and uncover what is most true, good and beautiful about your life.

Each year that passes is unique.
Individually, and collectively, we all go through the 365 days of the year bravely, never knowing what tomorrow holds.
Your own individual path has held profound moments since the turn of the calendar year many months ago - moments that have shaped your present and will shape the year to come.
It’s no wonder that so many of us have an impulse to reflect on the events of our year, how they’ve shaped us, the lessons we’ve learned, and taking time to intentionally imagine the year to come.
In this DIY online experience, Christa will thoughtfully guide you through soul-centered reflection and experiential exercises that will give you the tools to process your year, know yourself better, and take your next right step for the year to come.
You’ll walk away with calm-clarity and centered-hope for the days ahead.
This online experience is designed to refresh you and help you:
REVIEW: Identify your own key soul-shaping moments from the previous year
REFLECT: Take time to discover what truly moved you and its impact on you
REFRAME: Address this year’s disappointments, challenges, and pain with gentleness & ground yourself in what is most true
RECLAIM: Make a realistic ‘plan’ to re-align and find resilient ways of living well in the year to come
