Wild Writing + SoulCollage®
in the Bay Area!
At Laurie’s house in Alameda, CA
Saturday & Sunday
July 12th + 13th, 2025
Summer is coming!
For many years, our work has been exploring and diving into practices that help us tap into our most authentic, soulful selves. Through writing and art-making, we have crafted a rich and intuitive journey that invites us into a landscape of beauty and self expression.
We take this work all over the world. That’s why we’re so excited to create a weekend on our home turf – both for locals and anyone from around the country who wants to come.
We know you’re making your summer plans, so we wanted you to consider this luscious offering.
We hope to see you! Andrea + Laurie
Wild Writing each day with Laurie Wagner
Part of our weekend we’ll drop into Wild Writing, one of the most simple, most deep writing practices we know. Like SoulCollage®, Wild Writing is a deeply intuitive practice that invites us to relax and to trust the stories and the words moving through us.
When we’re relaxed, words come easily and sharing is natural. This is how we connect to ourselves and others on the page. You don’t need to be a writer to easily fall into this generous and healing practice.
Andrea will lead us in a creative practice called SoulCollage®
Andrea is a certified facilitator in this rich, creative practice designed for deep self-discovery and creative play.
One part creative play where you are invited to create an intuitive collage from magazine images and other elements. We then go deeper into reflection, journaling and sharing around the images we create.
It’s a powerful + beautiful way to speak to the parts of us that want to share wisdom. The parts of us that might need support or healing. The aspects of self that want to be witnessed and honored.
