The Principles of SoulCollage®
SoulCollage® is a trademarked process with just a few requirements to follow when using it or talking about it with others. There are certain elements that should be included in SoulCollage work, such as non-competitive artistic expression and the "I Am One Who..." exercise. SoulCollage cards are for personal and inner exploration. They are to be shared, but not to be sold, traded, or bartered.
For a full description of these guidelines, please read The Principles of SoulCollage, written by SoulCollage author, Seena B. Frost.
If you bring forth
what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.
If you do not bring forth
what is within you,
what you do not bring forth will destroy you.
~ from the Gospel of Thomas

I Am One Who has kept my light hidden long enough.
I Am One Who has searched my own darkness and found God's love and light within.
I Am One Who, now that I've discovered my own light, must take it out into the world.
I Am One Who is a Light Bearer.
Honor your journey
and your journey will honor you!
Go out into the highways and by-ways.
Give the people something of your new vision.
You may possess a small ight,
but uncover it, let it shine,
use it in order to bring more light
and understanding
to the hearts and minds of men and women.
Give them not hell, but hope and courage.
Preach the kindness and
everlasting love of God.
~ John Murray
We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.

A group of Americans made a trip with Brazilian natives down the Amazon River. The first day they rushed. The second day they rushed. The next day they rushed. One day, anxious to continue the trek, they were surprised to find the natives seated together in a circle.
When asked the reason for the delay, a guide answered, "They are waiting. They cannot move further until their souls have caught up with their bodies."
Do you owe yourself time to let your soul catch up with your body? -- Steve Goodier (Thank you Leah for sharing this with me!)
A SoulCollage® retreat is . . .
relaxing, fun, adventurous, healing,
and revealing.
SoulCollage® retreats offer time for contemplation, meditation and relaxation!
SoulCollage® retreats give you
time away just for you, and
encourage the discovery
of your authentic self, self-compassion,
self-love.
Retreat
Take Time To Let Your Soul Catch Up With Your Body
Supplies are minimal. SoulCollage® is a responsible (think recycling) and very inexpensive way to journey. You can engage in the SoulCollage® process at home alone, with friends, at workshops or retreats. All you need are magazine images (greeting cards, calendars, etc.), glue, good scissors, pre-cut mat board and a simple cut-out frame (I use recycled material for these also), and quiet space.
The One and The Many
I am both one and many, as are you. I am an individual person, but I also embrace numerous sub-personalities, or different aspects of who I am.
Each time you recognize, acknowledge, validate, honor and give voice to a different aspect of who you are, it opens yet one more door for you to step through and explore!
This journey, what I often call a most intimate conversation with yourself, allows amazing opportunities for peace and healing to take place in your Soul.
Potential
&
Possibilities!
“A SoulCollage® deck is the Story of You. It is a tangible way to know yourself in your diversity and depth, and also to show yourself to others.”

Community Suit: Sean Patrick Arey
Community Suit:
Hutch
with the knowing
in memory of my beloved nephew, Sean Patrick Arey,
who chose to remove himself from this planet February 28, 2001
two and a half decades before this
godawful month arrived a
darkness gripped his neighborhood:
moms, dads, and kids of all ages search
each white-birched, pined backyard
near-white faces look up and down his street
wide eyes walk the edges of the lake
beneath where he sleeps at night
in his own hiding place
his gray-streaked-black-haired mama
finds him and weeps
yesterday I received word again
we’ve lost Sean:
my body convulses with the knowing
and I wish to God we could turn back time
to find our precious innocent one asleep
unaware that outside his very bedroom walls
the world searches for him
from the wall-less-ness of wide-sky country
I remember the black-haired baby I cuddled
the dark-eyed little boy I played with
the pimply-faced kid who saved my son
the gray-streaked-black-haired daddy of three
and I weep and know
how you look at a brilliant orange sun
resting at the end of the prairie
and you turn to the east or to the north
when maybe you shouldn’t have turned at all
because you look up a second later
and the sun’s gone

The Source Card
The Oneness Beyond Dimension
When you make your Source card, it will symbolize the
Oneness Of All Things.
That from which all things come and that to which all things return.
Realistically, there is no image suitable for Source.
Source is without form.
Source remains
Mystery.
The Source is the whole fabric; all else are the threads.
~ Seena Frost
