A Women’s Visual Journaling Gathering

Immerse yourself in an unforgettable and transformative journey of self-discovery, creative exploration, and building connections with kindred spirits at Soulstice. Let your soul’s expression illuminate your path forward.

We’ve been waiting for you; we’ve kept a spot at the table. The time is right…

Introducing renowned artists

Juliana Coles & Lisa Cheney

Join us for an immersive 3-Day exploration into the intricate stages and complex layers of a woman's journey through Visual Journaling, the art of combining journal writing with mixed media for raw and authentic expression that brings us back in touch with our creative fire (and contrary to popular opinions about women of a certain age, we have much to be fired up about!).

And though the years have intervened, our memories of the days when yearly journaling retreats connected us with our artistic sisters linger. It is time to rekindle the embers of those unforgettable and life-changing experiences to embark on a long-awaited creative reunion when Juliana and Lisa unite forces for an unprecedented collaboration!

We call upon our circle of sisters, both new and experienced, to join us for this extraordinary journey!

Dust off your book, your apron, your inner voices, and let’s begin anew!

You will be guided through this transformation by the grace, insight, and shared wisdom of these two visionary artists! With their combined mastery of instruction and artistry, you will be safely supported as we’ll walk hand in hand to delve deep into each woman’s feminine narrative.

Welcome to
our Oasis

Nestled in the heart of Boise’s quiet historic Bench neighborhood is a hidden gem and our home-away-from-home! The cozy, light filled studio is ideal for our intimate gathering, with a lovely landscaped garden for eating, reflection and taking needed breaks.

This 3-day journey begins in the morning hours of the year's longest day; a tribute to the Summer Solstice. It unfolds amidst the remarkable energies of the Full Moon, culminating in a sacred Moon Releasing ceremony and marking a pivotal moment in this journey. What is beginning? What is passing away? How are we facing this transition, no matter what age or stage we find ourselves in? Juliana and Lisa provide hands-on tools for expressing what has been dormant, what is awakening and what requires release within the safety of this experienced sisterhood.

When Lisa is teaching, Juliana is working next to you at the table, when Juliana is teaching, Lisa is then working among her sisters. Your co-instructors will be immersed in this transformative process alongside you as they weave between guiding the group and navigating this beautiful journey side-by-side as fellow artists!

By the end of this intimate and transformative retreat, you will have forged meaningful connections with kindred spirits. Through this shared journey you'll deepen your self-awareness and tap into innate wisdom. You'll emerge with a collection of visual creations manifested in book format –– each a reflection of your soul's depths. These potent pages will serve as meaningful reminders of your inner journey, continuing to speak to you and spark inspiration long after the retreat concludes.

Each participant will receive a comprehensive workbook containing all the assignments, ensuring that you can continue to draw inspiration and delve further into your journey long after returning home.
