Program Details

We all have a treasure trove of stories within us, you can think of them as metaphorical snapshots, laying tucked away and silent, something like the old photographs you might find in your grandmother’s cedar chest. They may be faded, wrinkled. The edges may be curled, bent or frayed. But each holds a memory and is a gateway into a story in time.

In this 10-week online series, each week, Stephanie Rutt will guided you on an inner journey to contact your inner muse. Your muse will help you explore a snapshot, story, waiting and ready to be seen and known in the light of a new day. These snapshots will emerge from ubiquitous experiences we all share such as times of simple joy, when courage was needed to overcome fear, times of surprise – didn’t see that coming, to moments of awe beyond understanding. (See complete list below in the schedule.) Using guided meditations, journaling prompts and exercises, you’ll be invited to excavate the treasure each story holds.   You may choose to express this treasure in impromptu writing, a poem, artwork, or perhaps even through a song or movement should you be so inclined. Let your inner muse be your guide!  

Join us on Tuesday nights (September 16 to November 18) from 6:30-8:00 pm eastern.

As we consider this year's theme at Rolling Ridge, one of the ways of "Seeing Holy Presence" is by embracing the stories in us and opening ourselves to the Divine possibility that our inner muse can show us the Holy within ourselves.

Cost for the series: $110 for 10 online 90 minute sessions (total of 15 hours).  Unfortunately there is no part-time pro-rated registration.  

Interested in getting a taste of the topic before registering for the series?  Join Stephanie Rutt on Tuesday, September 9th for an in-person Day Apart Retreat that will be just a small sample of the 10-week journey.   Click here for more information.
