Extreme Self Care means making choices that honor our well being everyday. It means telling the truth to ourselves so we can express our needs more authentically to the people in our lives. We begin to make choices from a place of love, expression and generosity. We become more open and available to people in our lives. At some point caring for others is just a natural expression of our own state of being and not a burden or an obligation. Suddenly, we begin to experience that we are all connected and that our actions impact each other.

The ultimate goal of practicing extreme self care is to empower you to design your life in such a way that leaves you...

living and working in an environment that nurtures you
surrounded by beauty
spending as much time as you need in nature
participating in activities that allow you to express yourself
or your creativity.
eating well, moving your body, and being in silence as
often as you need.
surrounded by people who have integrity, are attentive and supportive
of you, committed to improving the quality of their lives.
Your needs are a priority to you and honored by those around you.
This SoulCollage session is about getting connected to your emotional truth so you can express it to another and get the things you need. OR if you are someone who is connected to your truth then this can support you in supporting others.

What is SoulCollage®
"SoulCollage® is a process through which you contact your intuition and create an incredible deck of cards which have deep personal meaning and which will help you with life's questions.

Following the simple SoulCollage directions, your hands move fragments of cut-out magazine pictures around, fitting them together in a surprising new way and gluing them down on a card. Cards containing the images you select --- or the images that select you --- come straight through your Soul, bypassing the mind.

This is a multi-leveled, creative process which anyone can do. All you need is a good pair of scissors, pre-cut mat board cards, and images you can cut out from magazines, greeting cards, personal photos, postcards, catalogues, and calendars. It is wonderful to have other people with whom to share the process." ~ SoulCollage.com

Sunshine Coast SoulCollage

sunshinecoastsoulcollage with Heather...SoulCollage: the perfect synthesis

I felt immediately drawn to SoulCollage® after seeing card images in Seena Frost’s book SoulCollage – An Intuitive Process for Individuals and Groups at a Women of Wisdom conference in Seattle. I bought the book and made a few dozen cards on my own, but felt that I wanted to connect with others using this process.

During a four-month work stint in San Francisco in 2008, I took a SoulCollage facilitator’s workshop with Seena Frost at a retreat center in Los Gatos, California. It was fabulous to share cards and inspirations with women from across the U.S.

Now I host SoulCollage workshops in the Pacific Northwest while continuing to relish the pleasures of creating cards and introducing others to this fun and revealing art form. SoulCollage is the perfect synthesis of my passion for image making, creativity, and self-actualization.

As a long-time professional writer, freelance photographer, and writing instructor, I find ongoing parallels between SoulCollage and my favorite creative forms. For several decades, I have had a passion for Jungian symbology, dream work, mandalas, and archetypal forms, using them as a path of inner exploration. SoulCollage integrates these interests and my spirituality in a truly fulfilling way. I love that these cards connect the Divine to one’s inner exploration and celebration of Self.
