VIRTUAL SOUL BOX-MAKING GATHERINGS
Physical distancing doesn’t have to mean social distancing. Join us as we come together online, via Zoom technology, to share experiences and build community.
Zoom allows us to talk to each other in real-time, face-to-face, on our computers, smartphones and tablets.
You can also listen and talk with a landline or mobile phone (no video).

We are so appreciative of the love-infused Boxes we have received from all of you throughout this trying year. This holiday week, we look forward to visiting with you, the friends we've met across the country through the Soul Box Project. We can't serve cookies, but we'll kindle some warmth and fellowship to bring light in this winter season.

What to expect
We’ll begin every virtual gathering by folding a Soul Box together. If you’re new to folding, please watch our instructional video and look at the instructions beforehand. There will always be an experienced Soul Box-maker available to walk you through the steps. Although each gathering has a “theme,” the conversation will take its own course.
Things to do BEFORE your virtual Soul Box-making gathering
- Download the Zoom application. Otherwise, you will be prompted to download and install Zoom when you click our join link before the meeting.
- Join a test meeting to familiarize yourself with Zoom.
- Watch our Soul Box-making video and review our folding instructions.
- Assemble your Soul Box-making supplies: at least two sheets of 8 1/2-inch square paper and any art supplies to adorn your Soul Box.
