Last week, I participated in several soul collage circles, crafting and 'meeting' new cards, so I have several to deepen with!
With SoulCollage®, we're invited to speak from the cards perspective, rather than telling 'about' the card.
When sharing with others, we each read our own cards. We're invited to listen to each other, as they speak from their card's viewpoint. We may ask questions to help them deepen with their own card's message - but we try not to make suggestions or give 'compliments!'
And - that's a learning curve!!
It's so easy and familiar to explain / talk story / share the whys .... we're invited to listen, and then speak from the perspective of the images!
Whatever your practice, you can use these journaling prompts with any image - just open a magazine, or your photo album to find an image, and dialogue with it! You may be surprised at what comes up!
Word of the Year with Cindy, for our virtual circle. This one's in the personal qualities, Committee suit.
I am one who ___
- knows her place in the world
- sees faces in the clouds
- is grounded and strengthened by the mountains
- Is flowing and floating
- I am Flo!
Beloveds was created in Sunday's facilitator training during a Quickfire card session. We then explored their messages by acting as Scribes for each other, in our breakout rooms. This could be my primary card of the committee Suit! (Seena later wondered why she began each suit name with a C!! And gave us permission to choose a more meaningfull name for the groupings, if we find all those C___s confusing!)
I am one who ___
- holds space for my beloveds
- stays grounded and creates a safety net,
Beloveds speak:
- we are each unique, shining stars
- we bring our curiosity and eagerness, our fears and old stories
- we are eager to share inquiry and insights
Bloom - Committee
And these little dancers showed up in our Word of the Year workshop on Sunday!
I am one who ____
- blooms where I am planted
- loves to dance, and doesn't know I might get it wrong - what's this "wrong," anyway??
- loves dressing the part
- I love doing my own choreography, and dancing with the group!
After meeting the card (or sketch, photo, painting) with "I am one who ...." as your prompt, you can ask the images other questions:
What do you have to tell me about ___?
What can you to show me about ___?
How will you help me enjoy / understand / embrace___?
What insights can you share with me?
What wisdom do you offer today?
What is your gift to me?
A symbol to help me remember your message is ___
(Look for an image on the card to remind you - a rose might help me to be more open, the color blue may feel soothing...a tree might remind us to stay grounded... )
And the Golden question: Do you have anything else to tell me?
As i make more cards, I select one or two for daily or weekly inspiration.
I place them where I'll see it, and get little messages throughout the day.
I might use it as a prayer focus.
We are visual beings, and images help connect us to our sense of source!
