Are You Ready for the Creative Journey?
A very special ten-week Journey awaits you as we take SoulCollage® into the third dimension!
The Creative Journey game is a creative, playful process of self-discovery and insight.
You will design your game board and personal game pieces as you play the game which includes journaling exercises and other activities designed to put you in deeper touch with yourself and your own life journey.
Unlike other board games, this one is not about competition and winning. It’s about creativity and the joy of self-discovery, all the way.
This creative game process, based on The Hero’s Journey can help you to open doors to self knowledge and understanding, see some of your lifelong patterns, and move you through your personal adventure of discovery and awareness.
Each Game Board is divided into three parts:The Call to Adventure (upper right)The Adventure (bottom half)Return Home (upper left)
Please click here for a more detailed, up-close EXAMPLE of one of Barb Kobe’s game boards. Just scroll down to “BARB KOBE GAME.”
NOTE: Barb used handmade dolls for her game pieces on the sample game board, and you can do the same, or you can use your SoulCollage® cards in some way.

Facilitators
You will be gently guided on this Creative Journey by:
Barb Kobe (right), who created the Journey Game and wrote the Manual that you will receive as part of this adventure.
Barb Kobe is an Expressive Arts Coach, Group Facilitator, Teacher, and Curriculum Designer. Barb began making dolls many years ago using roots from her garden. Her first dolls were a means of exploring deeper parts of herself. By making these dolls, she was able to affirm the life process, the joy and the pain, and let go of what needed release and move toward transformation and healing. The threads that weave through Barbs work are women’s issues of empowerment, spirituality and healing. Barb is passionate about art and healing and believes that the act of doll making can take the doll maker through a deep creative process that can bring unknown parts of oneself toconscious awareness, and set change in motion. Spiritual rituals and healing symbols deepen this process. Nature is a primary source of inspiration. In addition to fibers and clay, Barb often uses sticks, roots, and other materials found in nature for doll making.

Listen to What Last Year’s Creative Journeyers Are Saying About The Creative Journey Game Experience:
- I really loved working online with an anonymous group of incredible women whose stories inspired me to tell my own. I have always been in the role of inspiring others and to be able to do my own work on myself for a change was wonderful. I also loved the journaling and story-telling that was part of the experience. — Susan, Connecticut
- I wanted to express what a blessing this journey has been for me. It has been such a wonderful time of self-discovery as well as integration with self AND community. It is almost as if my energy is vibrating at a different frequency while seeing with greater clarity, hearing even the gentlest whispers and feeling alive like never before. The Creative Journey has been a true gift. Thank you! — Janet, New York
- I found the first part (before starting to create the game board and the pieces) very interesting. It took a long time for me to clarify what I wanted. Using the left-right hand dialogue the first time was very impressive. The game board and game pieces are there to give image to the problem and the insights. — Gyrgyi, Hungary
- I am only partway through the journey, but already I’ve learned a lot about myself and my journey intention. I feel more centered and content with myself. The game has helped me focus my energies in my external work and relaxed my internal world as well. — Kathleen, Nebraska
- The wealth of creativity & wisdom that Barb Kobe personifies is immeasurable. Realizing the different learning styles was liberating, as well as her creative approach to learning more about ourselves. I love having a game board I can review and let its wisdom whisper to me. — Cheryl, Illinois
- Your classes pressed me to slow down a little, and take a more thoughtful look at what my path was becoming. — Rose, North Carolina
