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, therapeutic exploration, and self-understanding.

Which part of you is driving the bus in your life? Is your Authentic Self in the driver’s seat, or a part that is burdened with sorrows, shame, or dark thoughts? SoulCollage® is a way to honor and get to know all your feelings and inner voices: the ones you like (joy and love) and the ones you try to push away. As Rumi says in The Guest House, “Meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Welcome and entertain them all!” Your feelings, that is! In this 3-hour workshop we will focus on what is going on inside of you and meet the inner family members of your psyche!
