SUMMARY:Heart of SoulCollage
DESCRIPTION:An ongoing small group dedicated to a deeper self-inquiry based on the SoulCollage process\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoulCollage® is a powerful creative process that gently enables you to hear the deep wisdom of your own inner-knowing through the practice of collage art. This soul-tending practice honors one’s personal journey\, while promoting personal growth and self-discovery. To deepen our understanding of and break open the meaning of our SoulCollage cards\, each session will begin with an short introduction of the theme followed by guided meditation and setting our intention\, before transitioning to card-making. Our day will conclude with witness journaling and a brief sharing of our images\, if desired. \n\n\n\nWorking silently within the group energy\, we honor our own inner voice\, allowing our unique creative process to lead us on our unique path. Our gathering offers a safe and supportive space for exploration and discovery in an intimate and ongoing group setting. \n\n\n\nThis small group does not include teachings in the SoulCollage Process but offers space for exploration. All are welcome – experience in SoulCollage not required! \n\n\n\n$25/session\, includes access to basic SoulCollage supplies and a program guide for the series to facilitate creative exploration on your own between sessions. Bring additional magazines and personal images. A copy of “Into the Heart of SoulCollage” is suggested\, but not required \n\n\n\nOnline registration closes one week prior to each session.Register separately for each monthly session\, come to one or all\, as your schedule allows.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister for this Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSharon Devo is a certified SoulCollage and Open Studio Process Facilitator\, Spiritual Director and Retreat Guide.
