SoulCollage® Workshops

For Personal Growth and Development

SoulCollage® is a deeply personal and intuitive form of art therapy developed by Seena B. Frost in the late 1980s, designed to facilitate self-discovery and emotional exploration through creative collage-making. Participants create 5×8 inch cards by intuitively selecting and arranging images from magazines, photographs, and personal artwork that resonate on a profound emotional level, representing different aspects of the self.

The process goes beyond simple image creation, incorporating a unique journaling technique where participants write from the perspective of each card using the phrase “I am the one who…” This approach allows for deep dialogue with different parts of the self, uncovering hidden insights, emotions, and internal narratives. Each card becomes a visual and textual representation of an internal aspect, offering a tangible way to explore one’s inner landscape.

Therapeutically, SoulCollage® provides numerous psychological benefits, including emotional processing, trauma healing, accessing unconscious material, and building self-compassion. The method is particularly powerful because it bypasses verbal and intellectual defenses, allowing participants to engage with their inner world through intuitive, visual means. It is intentionally designed to be non-technical and accessible, emphasizing personal intuition and emotional resonance over artistic skill.

The practice shares significant philosophical overlap with Internal Family Systems therapy, as both approaches view the self as a complex system of interconnected parts. By creating cards that represent different internal voices, experiences, and energies, participants can gain greater understanding of their internal dynamics, promote healing, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with themselves. SoulCollage® can be practiced individually or in group settings, making it a versatile tool for personal growth, therapeuic exploration, and self-understanding.

Bare Branches: What Remains When Everything Falls Away

A SoulCollage® Workshop for November

By November, the trees have let go. The color is gone, the leaves are underfoot, and what’s left stands open to the sky. There is something exposed about a bare branch, and something honest too. Without the leaves, we can finally see the shape of the tree: its strength, its scars, the way it has grown toward the light.

As we notice the leaves leaving the trees bare, what do we notice about our own bareness? Are we comfortable with vulnerability, or does something in us want to cover up, look away, or hold on tight? Which parts of us feel unprotected when things fall away, and which parts quietly know that we are still here, still rooted, still whole?

Through SoulCollage®, we’ll explore what remains when the familiar is gone: the essential self beneath the seasons, the structure that holds us, and the tender places asking for our compassion. And we’ll gently ask a deeper question: can we even let ourselves be seen and revealed? What happens inside us when we try?

No art experience is needed, only a willingness to be curious about our own bare branches, and whatever we discover there.
