SoulCollage® Community Update
April 17, 2012
|

|
What drives us, ultimately, is the yearning for community and to be understood by others. ~ David Brooks in The Social Animal
Seena Frost, founder of SoulCollage®, crafted this version of Indra's Net to symbolize the One and the Many (of us in community). Each jewel in Indra's Net reflects all others infinitely. Seena made this Indra's Net from her own wedding dress, fisherman's net, and some beautiful Indian cloth. At her SoulCollage® Facilitator Trainings, she invites new Facilitators to glue a "jewel" onto it.
SoulCollage® is all about creating community. It's made of community, inspires community building and healing and is practiced in community. In "Together We Are Evolving," an excerpt from SoulCollage® Evolving, Seena writes:
The first SoulCollage® book was printed in 2001, and at its conclusion I wrote these words. 'How each of us nurtures, heals, and explores Soul will have impact on the vast cultural changes beginning to manifest. If we become more Soul-Conscious, we will become more powerful and effective as Lightbearers, as Warriors, as Wise Women and Wise Men of the 2000's.' ... The Larger Story has evolved since then. There are even more rumblings about a paradigm shift happening in the world than in 2000. Many leaders and teachers are talking about it.
This "local" story has evolved as well. Today SoulCollage® has 1,292 trained Facilitators in a total of 24 countries. I like to think that SoulCollage® has become one of the "imaginal cells" working within this still cocooned "old caterpillar" of a society to help it transform into a new "butterfly" of a society that many are envisioning. We are joining together with other communities of awakened human beings, and adding our special gifts of images, intuition, and imagination. We are working towards the balance of left- and right-brain hemispheres, and the balance of masculine and feminine energies. We are working to end the dualisms that separate people into good and evil camps by teaching that all beings are unique and at the same time holy, each being blessed with a spark of Source.
I invite you to join the community of SoulCollage® and be part of this paradigm shift, using the special tools described in my book SoulCollage® Evolving. (Chapter 16 details using the SoulCollage® process in groups to deepen the experience. Create a "community" card for a special person in your life!)
View a special SoulCollage® video taken at The Expressive Arts Summit in Manhattan led by Kat Kirby, SoulCollage® Trainer and Art Therapist. Thirty-four people learned how to create SoulCollage® cards, to step into the images, and bring them to life. Enjoy browsing our YouTube Channel for more videos from our Community of Movie Makers!

SoulCollage® & Paradigm Shift
A New CD by Seena Frost
 On this CD you will learn several elements in the SoulCollage® process that help us to heal divisions in our personal Souls, our families, communities, and in the world. You will understand more deeply how this simple, creative process can yield deeply transformative results and how the SoulCollage® community is one of many imaginal cells on this lovely planet, growing both in size and in depth, hoping against hope that we can create together the "butterfly" we all envision-the new paradigm. $14.95.

SoulCollage® and Grief
A New CD by Roberta Rook, LCPC
 When SoulCollage® found me in 2005, I had already experienced the two very significant losses that had led me to my work as a bereavement counselor-the deaths of both of my parents in the summer of 1996. In this CD, I take you on a journey through healing from loss, addressing the questions originally posited in the transformational model of grief developed by Dr. John Schneider, What is lost? What is left? What is possible? These "small but mighty" cards can give form to feelings, hold for their creators both "positive" and shadowed energy, and bring hope for a new way to live with the scars of loss. I didn't have SoulCollage® in 1996, but I have it now, and that has made all the difference. $14.95
