DEEP LIGHT
Your Connection with Inner Wisdom is forged in the Deep

The World + Life demands our participation! It’s easy to be overcome, disoriented + confused when life has the reins. This time of year is soooo dark and filled with urgency + activity, it is quite helpful to surrender and let the deep catch + hold you. Discovering inner space is at the heart of that darkness, our humanness can be tended and our true knowing comes to the fore as a light frame is forged + life is met with love. 

Opening hearts in community makes all the things real, the light is shared, and we all get to see that our intuitive, innate knowing is the energy that pulses deep.  Words + images shared from the heart, listening to one another, aspiring + remembering, journaling + noting, we find a home in the body, language + each other. We plumb those depths and inner light of our being-ness scribes the way.

This will be a rich day of connection with self + other, wisdom + love.

FAQs 

I am not an artist, i’m not even creative! Is SoulCollage for me? Although this process is creativity at its core it is not intended to be an art making endeavor. This process is open to all people regardless. 

I’m an artist & love collage, how is this different from those processes? As above, this making process is less about the object that is made & more about the energy represented. Images are the language employed. Often those of us who are artists must shift a bit. 

Is this like vision board making? Although it can appear similar and does employ images to connect with personal meaning SoulCollage®️ cards give voice and representation to one’s inner world in a unique way.
