Life is a Journey, make it sacred
“Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life
—John Muir
A sacred gateway is an intentional approach that connects a person to their soul journey and the sacredness of every change. Our first change is birth and depending where we are born and who is our community, it can include our cultural / religions traditions, education milestones or life transitions. Unexpected change can bring unexpected transitions. Exploring these transitions intentionally, through meditation, ritual and art, facilitates their integration into your sacred journey
Soul Collage® is a form of expressive art that anybody can do regardless of experience. It is a gentle, non-verbal process that is designed to spark the imagination and when you find images that call to you and transform them into collages, the outcome can be both insightful and surprising. By using the “I am one who” Soul Collage becomes a powerful connector, connecting you to yourself in a way that ripples into your life, relationships, your community and the world. The Soul Collage cards are also be consulted when needing the answers to life’s questions that arise as we grow and change.
