Soul Collage
Our time together in this workshop is less of a deep dive into the art of collage and more a surprising and remarkable deep dive into the art of the soul. Working with images only (no text) and with a specific 5x9 inch format, we will create three collages representing our past, our present and our future. As we're creating we are tapping into our intuition and letting go of judgement and expectation. When the collages are complete we will gather to share our work an exercise unique to the SoulCollage® process.
