Have you ever gone to a reading by a clairvoyant, or picked up an oracle deck of cards to find out the answer to a question that has been bothering you, or has gone unanswered? Have you ever wanted to get more in touch with your own intuition and find the answers to your own questions?
SoulCollage® is a unique way to explore your Self, all the parts of you, your light and your shadow, your talents and gifts, your allies and
challengers. Using only images, intuition and
imagination, you create a deck of 5 x 8 cards that becomes a visual journal of your journey, one that evolves as you evolve.
With this deck, created using
images and symbols that call to you, you hold a symbolic
reflection of your one and many-faceted Self in your hands. Once you have a dozen cards or so, you can do consultations or readings with them. It's quite astounding how our own psyche loves this process of dialoguing with images. The SoulCollage® process was designed by Seena Frost, MS, MA in Div., a psychotherapy clinician and supervisor in California for over thirty
years. The
international community now includes more than 3,700 Facilitators
in 45 countries, and a team of SoulCollage® trainers who offer training programs all over the world.
Caretaker Card
What I’ve learned from this unique creative process is that the body uses metaphor and
images to send us signals. Sometimes working with images is a more direct path
to seeing our own truth than working with words. We all have our own personal
totems, images, symbolic animals, and SoulCollage® helps us feed the feedback
loop between psyche, body and mind. It’s a fun, creative process that is very light
on the surface, as we cut and paste images, but leads us to deep truths that
resist interpretation by the linear mind. We learn to trust our intuition, the bridge
that connects what we feel and what we know sometimes in a flash: mental logic
and heart wisdom come together and communicate.
“When the soul wants to
experience something,
she throws out an image in
front of her and
steps into it.” Meister Eckhart
The voice of our embodied soul, or wisdom, is our intuition. It sends
messages in symbolic form and metaphor from deep inside us – thoughts, guesses,
hunches seemingly come out of nowhere. When we are in touch with our inner guidance, and feeling connected to our own truth, we can heal a relationship with ourselves that has been
aching to be known. Images are one of intuition’s most powerful
voices, and have been called the food of the soul.
SoulCollage(R) card: Woman Dances with Wolves
“Ultimately, it is the voice of
the soul... When you take the time to draw on your listening-imagination, you
will begin to hear this gentle voice at the heart of your life. It is deeper
and surer than all the other voices of disappointment, unease, self-criticism
and bleakness. All holiness is about learning to hear the voice of your own
soul. Your soul is your true source and a new energy and passion awakens in you.”
~John O’Donohue, Beauty, The Invisible
Embrace
I invite you to come and learn more about SoulCollage® in a safe and
friendly environment, at an all-day introductory workshop Sunday April 7, with
a small group of people (maximum is 10).
We will spend time making cards, playing with images, and witnessing how
our intuition guides us to exactly the right image for the card it wants to
make. You are a unique being, and your soul essence is waiting to reveal some
of the pieces of your puzzle to you, so you can begin to gather the whole.
As Seena Frost, SoulCollage®
founder puts it, “Every soul essence has a special imprint or pattern within it;
some have said it’s like our mission. This pattern is a blueprint for your
deepest self, the self beneath the persona we all must develop to live in the
world. Its imprint is recognized by the archetypes who gather and who act like
magnets drawing you into manifesting your pattern; remember, it’s not a goal,
it’s more of a map, a map of your potential, uniquely yours.”
If you are feeling stuck or
overwhelmed, or just curious about all the parts of you, this creative, fun
process can help move you along to a deeper understanding.
Come join me, Sunday, April 7, Ermitage Ste-Croix, from 9:30 am to 4:30
pm, with
lunch included, for $60. If you invite a friend, I will gift you with a package
of cards/frame/pen and glue so you can get started with SoulCollage® and
discover your own inner wisdom. Register at:
NOTE ON FACILITATOR TRAINING- If you already
love SoulCollage® and would like to train as a facilitator, read this:
The Facilitator
Training is different from a SoulCollage® retreat or workshop, even
though in both settings a participant may experience deep personal
process. We expect that you are interested in taking the Training because
SoulCollage® has been meaningful to you in your own process, and you are
eager to share SoulCollage®, even if you are not clear just how you
will be doing that. Many people become clear about how they will use
SoulCollage® during or even after Training.
SoulCollage® has also proven to be a valuable therapeutic
tool when used by therapists and professionals as a part of their practice.
