This is a 2-hour online Zoom workshop. SoulCollage® is a joyful, gentle, intuitive, creative process that involves creating small collage cards that participants use as a powerful tool for ongoing self-reflection, self-awareness, and community building. Our sessions focus on the two essential elements that are the essence of SoulCollage®: Finding compelling images (cutting out and pasting them) and speaking aloud or journaling from the image point of view (the I Am One Who… process).
We use a joyful process of making small, 5” x 8” collages from pictures and images that intuitively catch your eye. No artistic tendencies are required – just an open heart and a willingness to engage. A personal deck of cards reflects one’s self and provides unique insights when cards are “read” using an easy and insightful process gained through guided journaling. The participants in this workshop will engage in the reflective process to create collage cards that they can use as tools for prayer, meditation & connecting with their inner spirituality or soul wisdom.
Sasha is an expressive arts educator/consultant and SoulCollage® facilitator. She sees teaching art as the fifth component of empowering individuals to be literate. Sasha has learned that listening, speaking, reading, writing, and visioning/viewing are integrated parts of a whole. Literacy is critical in communication, and communication is one of the essential skills in a democratic society. On a community front, in the home context, in employment, and at school – communication is fundamental to life and colors what it means to be human. Her teaching focuses on creative and critical thinking, connection, compassion, and community, one-on-one or small group. You can learn more about her and other expressive and traditional art classes and workshops she offers @ https://artworksmichigan.com. Please email questions to Sasha@artworksmichigan.com.
This workshop is being held on Zoom. The cost is $30. Sasha will mail basic cardmaking supplies to U.S. residents if you register at least 10 days in advance. A Zoom link will be sent to you after registering. This workshop is perfect for first-timers and experienced card-makers who want dedicated time and space for cardmaking and witnessing. All levels are welcome, but no experience is necessary!
