SoulCollage® Open Studio Virtual (Zoom)
Sunday, November 8, 2026, 1PM – 3:30 PM Eastern
SoulCollage® open studio card-making session is designed for anyone looking to explore their creativity in a supportive atmosphere.
Join fellow SoulCollage® enthusiasts for a nourishing, unhurried card-making studio with an invitation to tend your inner life through creative self-care.
This relaxed gathering offers space to reconnect with your practice, listen inward, and create. Whether you’re returning to SoulCollage® or simply longing for time to create, you are warmly welcome.
What to Expect:
- We’ll kick things off with a calming opening ritual, including quiet reflection, to set the tone for creativity.
- After the opening ritual, you’ll have time to create cards in a peaceful setting and share them using the I Am One Who process, writing poetry, or any other process you use to dialogue with your SoulCollage® cards.
- We’ll close out the session by honoring our creative journeys and one another through a short ritual.
What to Bring:
- Card-making supplies (mat boards, cellophane sleeves, glue) and images you’ve collected that resonate with you.
- Feel free to have a favorite snack and refreshing beverage.
Contribution: A donation of $15 is suggested. Venmo and PayPal are gratefully accepted.

A Path for Advent
An Invitation for Prayer, Reflection & Hope
HOPE and PEACE – Zion Lutheran Church, 212 S. Front Street, Hamilton, OH | Sunday, December 6 from 2P – 4P and Monday, December 7 from 4P – 6:30P
LOVE and JOY – Park Avenue United Methodist Church, 801 Park Avenue, Hamilton, OH | Sunday, December 13 from 4P-6:30P and Monday, December 14 from 4P to 6:30 P.
This Advent, you are invited to slow down, to breathe, to pray, and to listen. In the midst of the busyness of the season, come and walk a quiet and prayerful path.
Each week offers a different Advent focus with Scripture as a companion for prayer and reflection.
A labyrinth is a single, winding path that leads to the center and back out again. Unlike a maze, there are no wrong turns. Walking a labyrinth can quiet the mind and heart, open you up to God’s presence, and create a space for prayer and reflection.
Come as you are. Drop in anytime during the hours mentioned below. Walk and pray the labyrinth path reflecting on scripture passages or silent prayer. Stay as long as you like. Please arrive at least 30 minutes before the ending time to allow enough time for your labyrinth walk.
ALL ARE WECLOME. No special background, or experience is needed. It is as simple as walking and breathing. Handheld and lap labyrinths will also be available.
Freewill donations greatly appreciated.
Contact Zion Lutheran Church (513) 863-5774 or Park Avenue United Methodist Church (513) 893-5311 with questions.
