Creativity: A Call to Awakening
A new and inspiring workshop led by Emily Hanlon

October 13-15, 2006
The Country Place Retreat Center, White Haven, PA


The multifaceted journey of creativity is not limited to the arts. There is another level of creativity that beckons us: awakening to the deeper truth of who we are, or who we would be. This is the journey of soul, an ancient quest central to the great myths.

The journey of soul is nothing less than metamorphosis. Like the caterpillar, we make our way through existence, more often than not suffering "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune". Until, if we are lucky, we begin to hear a distant yet vaguely familiar call, at first little more than a stirring that asks: "Is this all? There must be more to life than this…. There must be more than I have seen ... except in those oh so few magical moments of unfettered being …"

Unable to discern a clear path to the answer, we usually turn away. But eventually, the call becomes louder, the questions more demanding:

• What is my purpose here in this life?
• Is there meaning behind my struggle and pain?
• Why does peace elude me?
• Why am I here?
  

When the call becomes so insistent, it can no longer be denied, and we become seekers on the path of soul.
