“Every soul essence has a specific imprint or pattern within it. Some have said it is like our mission. This pattern is a blueprint for our deepest self,” shares Seena B. Frost (2010). Frost studied at Yale Divinity School. She was a psychotherapy clinician and supervisor in California for over 30 years and utilized learning methods informed by the work of C.G. Jung, Fritz Perls, and others. She created a process called SoulCollage® based on a belief that “when the soul wishes to experience something, she throws an image of the experience before her, and enters into her own image.” In 2003, the first trainer session was held, and there are now over 4,000 trainers across the globe. Many are therapists who use this technique to aid their patients toward transformation and healing.
I took my first class with Jessica Snow and Somsara Rielly, of ARTxMAGIC. The two came together in the early 2000s when literally, art met magic. Somsara, a collage artist, illustrator and designer and Jessica, a meditation guide, content creator, and multimedia alchemist found a spark when they both attended a SoulCollage® workshop. Feeling a call, they attended facilitator training and adopted the name that literally means Art is Magic.
Somsara and Jessica believe that it is everyone’s birthright to tap into their creativity and intuition. Their mission is to conduct classes that allow people the opportunity for personal evolution. The workshops teach how to make individual oracle or tarot cards and they move it a step further with the writing exercises that open toward a transformative experience for individual growth.
To participate, there is not much required for preparation. The supplies are very simple and include: a 5 x 8 piece of card stock, cutting tools, a glue stick and images. Any images can be used, with no copyright issues, because the cards are made for personal use only. SoulCollage® strongly discourages sharing cards with anyone else since the meaning is deeply personal and if others comment on them, they lose their unique messages to those who created them. Snow and Rielly stress that the magic of your own personal work is lost when outsiders are invited to critique or comment. For example, if I make a card with an apple and star on it and then I write about it, I might discover that it represents my personal drive to teach each student to meet their potential. If I allow someone else to comment they might say it reminds them of Grandma’s apple pie at Christmas. That card would forever be altered for me and it essentially becomes the commenters card. The cards are intended for personal reflection, not to be displayed on social media.
More information is provided on the RESOURCE page for supplies and digital offerings – including Free Instructional Videos.
I have personally created over 200 cards and they are my guides on the road to self-discovery as I move toward individuation and learning more about the archetypes that emerge from the collective unconscious world I share with others.
After working with readers in an online book club discussion of Women Who Run With the Wolves, I have invited those who have a SoulCollage® practice to join in:
After a successful journey with SoulCollage®ing Women Who Run With the Wolves in 2022-2024, I am offering a new exploration of our personal natal charts through the work of Dr. Laurence Hillman and his book – Planets in Play: How to reimagine your life though the language of astrology.
