SoulBook Gathering Experience
with Candy Rosenberg
Saturday, July 21st
10:30 – 4:30

Spend the day creating your own personal Soul Book using a vast variety of crafting goodies, paper, paint, stencils, magazine cutouts, collage print outs, flowers, embellishments, ribbon and so much more. We supply all the tools, adhesive and everything you need to construct your own book. We only ask that you bring a few personal items, such as, printed out photos of yourself, loved ones, favorite quotes, personal items that are fitting for your book.
The Soul Book is all about exploring what your soul needs and to have a place to look back on to remind you of this. Candy Rosenberg is a private life coach and professional artist that will be instructing the class and doing her Soul Works program while you create. We will connect, laugh, share stories and most of all TAKE A DEEP BREATH and just be together. In a harsh world, we need to stop and learn to take a break and connect, to feed our souls.
$65. All materials included.
