SoulCollage with Beth Lindley
SoulCollage® is an intuitive process that requires no artistic skill, but invites our curiosity. Created by Seena B. Frost, M. Div., M.A., this practice accesses our intuition and imagination by making cards using collage with simple materials--images, scissors, glue and card stock. Anyone can do it--even those who say they are not creative or artistic!This practice involves making and reading our cards, (like a personal oracle deck) and offers us opportunities to connect with our personal truths, to become more familiar with what our soul needs and wants, and to experience the people and places that have shaped who we are and who we are becoming.
In this introduction class, you will make your first SoulCollage® card and learn the practice of "reading" your card. SoulCollage® cards can provide you with meaningful insights and guidance for your life's journey. It can be an ongoing practice of self-inquiry and discovery.
Beth Lindley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and recently completed training as a facilitator of SoulCollage®. She is also a facilitator of the Open Studio process and has been a student of Bowen Family Systems Theory for over ten years. Beth has worked in Human Services settings with aging adults and communities for over 25 years. A empathic, curious, life-long learner, Beth is interested in self-leadership and family connection and how our effort of self-exploration has an impact on stability and well-being--for us as individuals, our families, relationships and the organizations we work for and with. A mother of three young adults, Beth enjoys opportunities for family connection, meaningful conversations with friends and neighbors, long walks with her dog, and art-making.
