Soul Care Day

When: January 8, 2027 — 10am-3pm
Where: Space Gallery - 400 Santa Fe Drive, Denver
Cost: $35

If you sense a longing in your soul for the healing rhythm of rest and renewal, this experience might be the perfect response to that still small voice within.

Join us for a day of retreat after the busyness of the holidays. We’ll meet at the intersection of art, nature, and spiritual practice. Your invitations throughout the day will include: a guided art-making practice, creative soul care stations, space for silence and solitude, a shared communal meal, a contemplative walk, and much more.

Held at Space Gallery in Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe, this intentional and guided time will support your whole self — mind, body, heart, and soul leaving you renewed and inspired for the good work of being human in the world.

The cost of this experience is just $35 which includes lunch and art supplies. You bring yourself just as you are and nothing more. No art experience is necessary. In fact, you don’t even need to like art! Attendance is limited to just 12 participants to facilitate a wide space and a slow pace for the day.

Experience Guide: Janine Westlund
After over 35 years in education with a focus on behavior management and social/emotional development including living in Mozambique, Africa, Janine has found the heart of people to be calling and aching for care and love just like her own heart. This awareness invited her to take a deep look at the second half of her life and what God was calling her to do. Taking this deep look and listening to her internal stirrings, led her to the Soul Care Institute where she committed to doing the work for her own spiritual transformation and learning the tools to provide soul care for others. She then completed training as a spiritual director at Denver Seminary. Her deepest desire is for folks to know that they are seen, chosen, and beloved.
