SoulCollage® Facilitator

Tuesday April 6th, 6-9 pm EST

Online via Zoom

Discover a Mindfulness Practice with SoulCollage® is a introduction to the contemplative and insightful process of self-discovery. It gently opens you to a new way of exploring your inner wisdom. It is a practice that leads to a greater ability to be present to yourself in the here and now. It is this mindfulness energy that connects you to the unique aspects of yourself while you deepen connections with others – all while engaging your creativity! Using simple tools – scissors, glue, magazine images, and mat board – you create cards that are uniquely yours. This process honors your own time, pace, inner-language and spirituality.

"I've known about SoulCollage for years but I never was able to attend an introductory session. This one worked well for me at last and I found it very helpful to be led into the process rather than just reading the book. It was worth waiting for." ~Rachelle Oppenhuizen

EXPRESSIVE ARTS THERAPY

Telehealth and in-person

Tamara Teeter Knapp, MA, REACE, NCC, MHC Intern

Expressive arts therapy is a multimodal, holistic approach to counseling. It acknowledges the complexity of human experience by facilitating the client in exploring all aspects of the self, by inquiring through the imagination and the body about subjective experience, and expanding the play space to allow for new possibilities and shifts in consciousness that lead to desired changes in one’s life.
