way back in 1999, my stepdaughter got me Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort of Joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach for christmas— i don’t remember too much about the book except that it lead me to my first experience of collaging as a way of gaining personal insight
over several years after receiving that gift, i made a number of large and complex collages revealing the enormous changes and upheavals that massive tectonic shifts in my subconscious and spiritual experience were forcing to the surface
some years later, in 2008, i became a trained facilitator in soulcollage, a method of creating a personal deck of “divination cards” using collage, developed by seena frost— the soulcollage tag line is “discover your wisdom, change your world”— i liked thinking of it as a process of “re-wholing” myself as the images and insights from the cards revealed buried, misused, misunderstood, shunned or imprisoned parts of who i was— i especially liked the way seena explained “shadow energy” as being an imbalance when a part of who we are is either over- or under-functioning to the detriment of our whole self
in 2014 i began making vision boards each new year, with different sets of women
last year it didn’t happen with all the displacement and disruption with the pandemic/wildfire events
this year i hosted a few women at my studio and we made vision boards!!— it was wonderful to hold the kind of sacred and supportive space where we can witness each other and work on self inquiry
the sunlight streamed in the window and the cuckoo clock gently ticked as we flipped through magazines and gathered the images our hearts, minds and souls called for to speak their truth and wisdom, and those images constellated into a beautiful and powerful whole
i would love to host more workshops as our covid circumstances and comfort levels allow
you can contact me with the form on the contact page if you are interested in hosting me for a vision board or soulcollage workshop
ready and waiting for creative expression and supportive sharing
