SoulCollage® and Your Senses of Humour
With Linda Woolfson
One of SoulCollage® birthmother Seena Frost's most outstanding and unusual features was her fabulous sense of humour. As well as valuing humour personally, she also saw having an active sense of humour as a core element of SoulCollage - and of the paradigm shift in the world which she was so committed to.
If you would enjoy using SoulCollage as a gateway to expanding the ripples of your own sense of humour, then join "SoulCollage & your Senses of Humour" for four weekly classes next month! After all, February is the month of Mardi Gras and Carnival, when the Fool comes out to play!

Date: Saturday 15th June 2019 Times: 10am – 5pm
Immerse yourself in a fun, inspiring and intuitive day of creativity and self-care - by engaging with pictures from magazines, simply using scissors and glue to playfully create small collage images for a deeper self-understanding and self-acceptance.
SoulCollage® is an illuminating self-discovery process designed to allow you to access your inner wisdom through imagery and personal reflection, by honouring the personal, archetypal, energetic and spiritual dimensions of your being.
You will begin to create your own deck of SoulCollage® cards and practice reading your cards individually and in small groups which will access your intuition through a self-exploration process, filled with meaningful insights and guidance for your life’s journey.
SoulCollage® is easy to learn and requires no previous artistic skills and you will take home several completed cards and no doubt a love of this creative process.
The workshop is held in Malvern (Address on booking)
£60 for the day, including a simple vegetarian lunch and all art materials.
