Workshops

Contact Carole to schedule a presentation for your next event. Sample topics include:

1. SoulCollage®

Create your own magic with SoulCollage! Select images that call to you. Cut the images out and paste onto mat boards to discover your multi-faceted self. Cards come to represent inner parts of ourselves, larger archetypes which move through us and in the world, actual people and animals who enrich our lives, and animal companions who speak to us about the balance of energy in our bodies. Who will emerge for you? This intuitive art process was developed by Seena Frost. Carole has received her facilitator certificate to teach this creative and fun process.
