Body and Soul

What an incredible event we had this past weekend at Tallgrass Spiritual Retreat Center! Body and Soul offered SoulCollage by Hazel Hutchinson (see www.ArtEnSoulCollage.com) and Healing Touch by (Mindy Graham). The weather was perfect. The energy at the Center was . . . well, energizing and the women present were delightful, open, responsive, and eager to be here and to participate. As the retreat center's director, greeter, housekeeper, cook, dishwasher, fire starter and anything else you can think of, I worked hard this weekend! And it was all worth it to see this group of women bond, work together, learn about themselves, sing and play drums around the campfire, and just grow in the Spirit! Delightful. Rewarding. Important.

This coming Friday brings 10 Billion Beats - an experiment in global intention. Carlisle, Salina, KS, had the idea to have folks drumming for one hour on Sat Sept, 18 from 7-8 o'clock - all around the globe! The intention of the drumming is peace to the world. Folks, women, men and children have been invited through newspaper articles and emails to come join us for a potluck at 5:45, drumming from 7-8 and time around the campfire at 8. Read more at

We're also looking towards September 25-26 for Sacred Desire with Drs. Nancy Morrison and Sally Severino from NM as they share about their new book, Sacred Desire. Read more at SacredDesire

And then in October 16-17 Jeff Hansen, Topeka, will be here to teach women how to make paper from prairie plants. Papermaking with Prairie Plants

I LOVE bringing women together, watch them grow and share and leave not wanting to leave, knowing they will return and find themselves, others and God in new ways, in new faces.

With you in Godde's holy embrace,
