SoulCollage® is a creative and therapeutic process that combines images, intuition, and self-exploration to create a personal deck of collaged cards. It was developed by Seena Frost, a psychotherapist and author, in the late 1980s.The process of creating SoulCollage® cards involves selecting images from magazines, books, or other printed materials that resonate with you personally. These images are then cut out and assembled on a card in a way that feels visually appealing or meaningful to you. The resulting collage becomes a unique representation of different aspects of your inner self, desires, dreams, and emotions.

The cards created in SoulCollage® often depict archetypes, personal symbols, or significant themes in one’s life. They can represent various facets of your personality, relationships, life experiences, and spiritual journey. Each card holds personal meaning and can serve as a visual reflection of your inner world.

Once the cards are created, they can be used for self-exploration, introspection, and personal growth. Individuals may engage in various activities and practices with their SoulCollage® cards, such as journaling, meditation, visualization, or using the cards as prompts for self-reflection and dialogue. SoulCollage® is often used in therapeutic settings, workshops, and personal development contexts. It can provide a creative outlet for self-expression, a means to access and understand unconscious or hidden aspects of oneself, and a tool for gaining insights and fostering personal transformation.

This 6-hour workshop will offer the participant an understanding of the origins and theory of the method; will introduce the themes or suits that make up a card deck; offer instruction on how to select materials; ethical considerations for making and using cards; time to begin creating your deck; and how to engage in the wisdom that your deck provides by doing readings
