Soul Collage

For the last few years I've been getting together with a group of women to do Soul Collage, a process created and refined by Seena Frost. My good friend Barb Horn facilitates our sessions in Southwest Colorado (she was formally trained by Seena).

The basic process for our group entails:

meditation (optional)

eating yummy potluck food

ripping pics from magazines (only images that speak to you)

chatting, chatting, chatting

composing on a 5 x 7 card

entertaining anecdotes by Barb (really these are interspersed through the whole session)

writing "I am the one who..." statements for the card

sharing cards

doing readings (if you wish). Here is an on-line reading (interpret how you will)

There are no rules to Soul Collage- it is a creative process and many variations have surfaced, but Barb teaches about eventually having "suites" of cards to draw from. Cards might represent committee (inner child, victim, hero, etc.), companions (animal or those in your life), council, or community and readings can be based on these suites, much like Taro cards.


Soul collage is a creative outlet for what is happening in my life at the time. I usually do it in a group, so I also enjoy the social aspect, but ultimately I use this process to glean more about what is going on for me. In addition, the cards result in portable works of art that can be gestated and reinterpreted multiple times or even given as gifts.
