Second Edition-Creating Connection Corner

Nurturing Creativity of the Soul Retreat
March 8-10 at Stillwood Retreat Centre, Cultus Lake BC
Our special guest facilitator, Lana Cullis, presented us with an extraordinary opportunity: the chance to nurture personal creativity, regardless of whether we consider ourselves inherently creative or not. The rewards of cultivating creativity extend far beyond the artistic realm, encompassing improved health, heightened joy and wellbeing, and even financial abundance.

With a pitch as compelling as that, joining Lana for this retreat was an irresistible proposition! The sessions were a delightful blend of fun and diversity, covering topics such as "Myths, Mysteries, and Misunderstandings," "Childhood Creativity," "What Colour is Your Creative Soul," "Creativity and Money," and "Honouring our Personal Lineage of Creativity," among others.

What made our retreat truly unique was its format. Each topic was explored for 30 minutes, after which we had the opportunity to put our newfound knowledge into practice through journaling or by utilizing the six tables stocked with an array of craft supplies, bringing our creative visions to life. ​

I highly recommend our suggested reading for this retreat:

Welcome to the inaugural edition of Creating Connection Corner, where we aim to keep you connected with upcoming events and much more each month. Discover effortless ways to amplify your voice within your congregation or community. We will furnish links to national and international interfaith events, climate and social justice activities, and walks that you and your community can effortlessly join.

Consider initiating a Creating Connection group within your congregation or community, and we'll share inspiring success stories along with step-by-step guidance on commencing with the unwavering support of Creating Connection. Furthermore, delve into valuable tips and tutorials on harnessing the power of social media platforms integral to Creating Connection.

Keep an eye out for Creating Connection Corner features in the Weekly Wire, and don't forget to explore our dedicated Creating Connection Corner page on the CWM website. There, you'll find an archive of all our Creating Connection Corner posts.
​
In this edition, we are excited to guide you through the process of setting up a Meetup account, allowing you to stay informed about our diverse range of events. Our five Meetup pages cover online and in-person activities in Vancouver, Calgary, Chilliwack, and Edmonton, in addition to our Nurturing Spirit Meetup page. Join us on this journey of connection and community-building!​
How to Create an account on Meetup:
  1. Go to meetup.com and click Sign up.
  2. A signup form will appear.
  3. Once you've entered all your information and verified your email address, you'll be prompted to select several interests from a list.
  4. Next, you'll be presented with several topics within each interest you chose.
  5. Based on what you've chosen, Meetup will generate a list of groups in your area that you may be interested in joining. Click the + button in the top-right corner of each group you'd like to join.
  6. After signing up for an account, you'll be greeted with the homepage each time you sign in. From here, you can search for Meetup groups, access your profile, see what events your current Meetup groups have planned, and more.

  8. Click ‘Join’ to join the group.
  9. Click the ‘Attend’ box to show you’re attending. For online events once you click ‘Attend Online’ the zoom link will become visible.
