People make their own decks of collaged cards for their personal use from found images. \nThe SoulCollage® method helps people discover their unique inner/outer guides and challengers\, and access their own wisdom to answer their life questions. SoulCollage® is a method used in many contexts and applications. \nWe who are attracted to SoulCollage® are evolving. We’re creative\, self-reflective\, and eager to discover and balance the many parts of ourselves. We each want to be able to be the best version of ourselves we can be and contribute our gifts to others. \nWe are challenged\, we struggle\, but we always return to our basic willingness to look at what is so\, to listen and to change. From that ever-evolving\, empowered place of wholeness\, we cannot help but contribute to and affect our worlds—our friends and families\, our communities\, and our fields of interest. \nSoulCollage® cards are made with the simplest of tools – magazine images\, scissors\, mat boards\, and a glue stick (all provided). \n\nSee the gallery of sample cards at the bottom of the home page on the soulcollage.com website.\nLearn more about making a SoulCollage® card.\nLearn more about theSoulCollage® story of You: Discover your wisdom. Change your world.\n\nInterested in SoulCollage online – we will schedule a Virtual SoulCollage to follow this gathering!!
