Autumn Blessings: SoulCollage Series

Overview

During this four-part workshop series, I will offer you the following opportunities: • Slow down, pause, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. • Relax through creative self-care. • Explore your inner autumn. • Experience SoulCollage®. • Reflect on the invitations of this season of your life. Each workshop in the “Autumn Blessings” series will focus on a different theme: • Saturday, September 6, 1pm-3pm Eastern: WELCOMING CHANGE; • Saturday, September 20, 1pm-3pm Eastern: LETTING GO; • Saturday, October 4, 1pm-3pm Eastern: HARVESTING GIFTS; • Saturday, October 18, 1pm-3pm Eastern: GROWING ROOTS. During each workshop, you are welcome to share your experiences, insights, and questions with the group. However, no one will see your SoulCollage® cards unless you decide to share them. In addition to SoulCollage® resources, you will receive guidelines for optional creative practices to explore after each workshop in the series. You will need the following supplies: • reliable Internet access to our Zoom meetings; • peaceful surroundings; • creative space; • a candle to light; • your journal; • your favorite pen; • 8-10 5" x 8" blank mat board cards or cardboard rectangles; • 30-50 found images (e.g., images cut out of magazines, catalogs, old calendars, greeting cards, or wrapping paper), some of which will need to be at least 5" x 8"; • 1-2 glue sticks, preferably acid-free and photo-safe; and • comfortable scissors. In particular, you may wish to gather images of AUTUMN, HARVEST, CHANGING LEAVES, and TREE ROOTS. Please feel free to use homemade materials. However, if you would like to purchase materials, below are some recommendations: • blank mat boards: Hanford Mead blank SoulCollage® cards; • copyright-free image source: Catherine Anderson’s *The Elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water: A Collection of Photographic Images to Cut Out and Use in Personal Art.* (Like her other photo books, this one was designed to be lovingly pulled apart, so please do not worry about cutting up a beautiful book.) If you cancel your registration by Saturday, August 30, you will receive a full refund.
