"SoulCollage appeals to diverse age groups and organizations. Show/Hide

Although it has a transpersonal orientation, it is not affiliated with any particular religion and is therefore easily embraced by followers of most traditions and by those who are not connected with religion per se, but who have a sense of the spiritual in their lives. While it involves the creative process, it does not require artistic abilities, but rather offers a practice to those who desire to express and know themselves more deeply." (from Seeking Wholeness in Partnership with the Unconscious)

 SoulCollage® Italy Tour 2009

SoulCollage® Returns to Italy!  September 14-27

After last year's wonderful tour, I was asked by several people who participated and many who missed the opportunity, to host another tour to Italy. I'm happy to announce that we are returning for a new two-week adventure! Highlights include visiting Damanhur, the unique eco-society with its extraordinary Temples of Humankind, relaxing in thermal pools  in the Euganei Hills, shopping, eating and, of course, making and interpreting our SoulCollage® cards together.

We will begin our tour at Damanhur with a new exciting program designed for both returning visitors and newcomers. We are invited to assist at the rituals of the Fall Equinox and to spend a night of 'Contattismo' inside the Temples of Humankind. The whole week is designed to prepare us for 'using' these wondrous Temples in different ways. We will be in these Halls three times!

In our second week, we will visit the Veneto area, in the Euganei Hills, and stay at a hotel with hot springs, for which this area is well known. The large thermal pools will be available to us from early morning until late in the evening. We will have time to use SoulCollage® to integrate our experiences in Damanhur, to relax, and to take full benefit of the healing powers of these thermal waters. We will visit Venice, Padua and, by boat, we will tour some of the most beautiful Palladian Villas. Shops and restaurants are within walking distance.

Transportation

Air transportation from your home to Torino Airport, and from Venice Airport back to your home are your responsibility. You will be picked up either at Torino Airport or at Ivrea Railway Station. You may choose to fly to Milan and take a train to Ivrea upon arrival, and then take a train from Montegrotto Terme (Mestre) to Milan at your departure. At departure time we will work out together the necessary transportation (there might be an added cost for this segment).

Breakfast and dinner, local transportation, classes, and the scheduled tours are all included in the tour package. Please note that the cost is in Euros, since the fluctuation of our currency makes it financially impossible to calculate it in dollars. Participants will be given detailed instructions on how to do so.
