Soul Collage
SoulCollage® is an intuitive and imaginative way to access and engage the unconscious. In this active imagination work, we meaningfully entertain and respond to images as they call to us. We cut, arrange, and paste, and slowly build a deck of our own soul cards. We discover and interact with various players from our inner theatre, some of whom are strengths or guides, others of whom challengers, still others of whom are underdeveloped or wounded and have come to us for healing.
We are all immersed in a greater, universal unconscious and are far more than our local, personal selves. We are conditioned to identify with our conscious egos. Our conscious ego identity is both the truth and a lie – it is a version of who we are and how we function, but it is far from the whole truth. When we free ourselves from our constricted ego identity through imaginal play, we feel, intuit, know and are far more than our habitual conscious selves.
Images are doorways into being and knowing at greater depths. External images come through our visual faculties; internal images come through our dreams, fantasies and imagination. We swim in images daily, hourly, moment by moment. Yet we often reduce our reality to what we think. And often our thinking is automatic and unexamined. Sacred work with images provides portals to reconnect with the delightful, capricious, and multifaceted flow of our rich and soulful experience and imagination. We get to discover our own reality anew and "make up our minds" with more resources and soulful imagination.
Imagination is the ground of true human intelligence. Through our imagination we tap into places where everything is interconnected and alive. We actively engage and co-create our being and knowing rather than remaining caught in a limited and passive deterministic model. We play in the realm of imagination. Play is at the heart of our human endowment.
The actual process of SoulCollage is simple! We look through magazines and books and respond to images, ripping out and cutting up what calls to us, meditating on what we have chosen, and gluing images on cardboard. How’s that for piece-of-cake?! We bypass the left brain and frolic in intuition and play. We make cards that mysteriously bring to life aspects of who we are. We meet our Selves at the level of Soul. And then we get to play and engage these aspects of ourselves, through journaling, dialogue, readings, meditation, and further play.
I am one among many trained to facilitate SoulCollage work. Some of my cards can be seen below in an informal slide show. SoulCollage is a trademarked process created by Seena Frost. For more information, please visit her website at www.soulcollage.com.
To all of those whose images inspire and nurture us: With immeasurable gratitude I honor and thank all of the artists whose creative work in some form or another makes up our collages. Without you our creative play and work would not be possible. I pray that our imaginative practice serves to further enliven, unfold and extend your original work. Thank you too, all the models, subjects, objects, and various manifestations of being who embody the images. May we all continue to creatively and harmoniously tend soul on Earth.
SoulCollage cards are made for personal use only. They are not to be sold, traded, or bartered.
