We
are often asked… “Just what is SoulCollage®?”
Many
things:
SoulCollage
is Art. On the most simplistic level. You don't have to be artistic, crafty or talented. You cut out
pictures from magazines while you sit with kindred spirits. We laugh, we talk, we let the magazine images find us without
thinking too much about it. It’s a fun sharing time.
SoulCollage
is Meditation and Prayer. After you cut out
a bunch of images, you take some quiet time to look at one or two of them. You ask, "what do you have to tell me?" "is there something you want me to know?". If
one image really draws you in, you can hold it in your hands and pray/meditate on it… or walk the labyrinth with it…
or simply begin working with it, finding other images that feel like they have the same energy. We will provide the sacred space and time to get comfortable with the process.
SoulCollage
is Self Realization. Sometimes when you are looking at an image, you may feel like "hey, this is me when I ________!" Or "this reminds me of _______, who was very important in my life" Or "I
don't know what the heck this picture is saying to me but I just 'know' I need it". Many, many times you will have an AHA! moment… the more you work with the image,
it will reveal itself to you, giving you just the information you need in your life right now.
Then
you start again:
SoulCollage
is Art. You put together
a collage based on the images that seem to hold the same energy, or say the same thing. We give you a picture frame
and you move the images around until it feels right. It can be funny, whimsical, meaningful, dark, happy, sad- you name
it. You can make a card to honor a part of yourself, a person or place in your
life, an archetype that speaks to you or an animal/being you feel a connection with.
The first
rule of SoulCollage:
There are
no rules! There is no right or wrong, trust yourself!
When
the arrangement feels right--you glue it to a 5x8 mat board. Congratulations! You've made your first card!
SoulCollage is Meditation and Prayer. Once you've made
your card, you once again can pray, meditate, reflect or just sit with it or make another one. When you are ready, you
begin speaking from the card. We will help you find the primary voice in the
card by using the "I am One who..." exercise. For example: A card with
images of gardening could possibly tell you "I am One who loves the earth, I am One who grows and nurtures, I am the One who
is one with the cycles of life." The amazing thing is how each card will give you valuable clues to your inner soul,
your inner truths.
Now
here's the fun part:
SoulCollage
is Self Realization. Once you've made
a fair amount of cards--not all in one sitting, of course--but over time, you will find the cards to be very informative
when you have questions about your life and your direction. You can do "readings" with your deck and see what YOUR soul
has to tell you. Or you can just pick a card a day to remind yourself of all
your inner voices (called Neters) and what they have to tell you about yourself. Doing
this process in a group (circle) is very powerful--it is also very gentle and nonthreatening. Anyone who has meditated,
prayed or communed with any group knows how energy can double with kindred spirits. We keep the circles small--4 or
5 at most--which is why space is so limited.
The
possibilities are endless, which is why it takes a day to really delve into the cards and discover what the process is all
about.
In
our workshops, we create a sacred space for all to explore the fun, new creative process while also just taking some time
away from the noise and busyness
of our everyday lives.
Our labyrinth will be available.
Quiet time....couches to put your feet up and blankets to snuggle with......warm, wonderful food....music.....meditation.....sharing.....
Close
your eyes and envision how wonderful the day will be......
