[.ca] Soulcollage: An Intuitive Collage Process for ... (ISBN 096431584X)

Marvellous Concept:
This entire book has a single great idea--the use of collage as a potent personal growth tool. The author describes a college process leading up to the creation of a personal deck of cards consisting of four categories: --Committee (aspects of the self, such as Inner Critic, Good Little Girl, Drama Queen, you name it --Community (persons of significance in the life of the persons making the card, whether personal friends or persons of inspiration from history) --Companion (totemic figures representing chakra forces); and --Council (archetypical figures such as Death, the Warrior, and other larger forces in one's life). The process of collecting images to assemble the cards, and working with the cards after making with them in a divinatory or reflective way, provides a way to access one's own inner wisdom while bypassing the verbal part of one's mind. Because the cards are assembled from images that have personal resonance, the deck can have an impact that no purchased tarot cards ever could. A very interesting way of making powerful personal art of especial interest to those who have no technical training in art.

How to handle the language of symbols and dreams:
Soul Collage provides everything needed to get in touch with personal intuition and create a fine deck of cards filled with personal meaning. Fine examples of cards made by regular folks are given throughout this workbook on how to handle the language of symbols and dreams.

Excellent New Practice.... Deepen, Enrich, Enlighten:
Ahhhh! There is nothing like trying on a new technique, a new tool, a new way to get even deeper with my spiritual and personal growth. Seena Frost is really onto something here with her SoulCollage process. I also really appreciate her tone and approach: she is not heavy handed as she guides, she is open and flexible and at the same time, speaks with an air of authority that asks the reader to listen and respect her wisdom. I was also pleased at the respect given across belief systems: a very pragmatic, creative, soulful approach. I have several ideas percolating as far as application of the process.... I am so glad I found this beautiful, simple, elegant book. You will be, too, after you read it and try it out.

Fascinating Process:
A lovely book with an interesting process for making collage cards of the different parts of one's self. The process led me to greater self-awareness and I had fun putting together the cards.
