Inspirational words to ponder....
You just live in the present, launch yourself on every wave,
find your eternity in each moment.

Upcoming Tele-Classes
February Embracing the Mystery
of the Shadow
presented by special guest Karen Mann,
SoulCollage Facilitator in Australia
and Anne Marie Bennett,
SoulCollage Facilitator in Massachusetts
We all have aspects of ourselves that we wish we could hide and pretend that they don't exist. Some of the shadowy parts of self may include the jealous self, angry self, guilty self, lazy self, the victim, the liar, the addict, the opinionated one, the judgmental one, the impatient one etc Often these parts of self may seem broken, disgusting or weak and we try to suppress them because they seem unacceptable and do not fit in with the 'norms' in society. In this SoulCollage tele-class, we will approach our shadow aspects as a mystery to be explored, rather than a problem to be solved or an illness to be cured. You will learn to see each shadowy aspect as only one piece of you and not as your whole being. Date: Thursday, February 21, 2008
Time:
9:00 pm Eastern, 8:00 pm Central, 7:00 pm Mountain,
6:00 pm Pacific, 4:00 pm Hawaiian,
Tuesday 2 a.m. in London,

Member's Only Audio Library.

Soul Nourishment
 Resources to support your inner work
as you dive deeper into your beautiful soul
Books:
Dr. Ann Faraday's Dream Power, by Ann Faraday. This is a correction to the book with a similar title that we reviewed in the January 21, 2008 issue of Soul Treasures. This book by Ann Faraday is the one recommended by SoulCollage Facilitator Diane Trowbridge who led our July 2007 Kindred Spirits Tele-Class on SoulCollage and Dreams. Dream Power is available at the above link at Amazon as a used book.
The Illustrated Discovery Journal: Creating a Visual Autobiography of Your Authentic Self, by Sarah Ban Breathnach, author of the #1 New York Times Bestsellers Simple Abundance, and Something More. Put aside your intellectual, reasoning self and unleash your playful, creative, intuitive self with this beautiful, large spiral bound workbook. There's lots of journaling/art/creative suggestions, plus lots of space for your written and colorful work. Also contains 10 pages of wide pockets for you to store anything that reminds you of your own authentic self.
Finding Your Own North Star, by Martha Beck. Subtitle: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live. Written by Oprah Magazine columnist, this book shares a step by step program that will guide you to creating the authentic life you were born to live. Learn how to read your internal compasses and why you've ignored them for so long, and also become reacquainted with your own deepest desires. Beck provides an easy-to-follow map that will guide you through your life changes and transformations. I read this at a time in my life when I was questioning what to do next and it really, truly helped me find my way forward.
A Thousand Paths to Comfort, by David Baird. A juicy, thick little book full of wise, witty and inspiring thoughts that will bring you comfort no matter what you're going through on your journey.
Breaking Free: Women of Spirit at Midlife and Beyond, edited by Marilyn Sewell. A groundbreaking anthology for women searching for spiritual guideposts to the second half of life. Contains 27 personal, daring essays by some of the finest women writers who are examining the second half of their lives. Contributing authors include: Isabel Allende, Erica Jong, Maya Angelou, M.F.K. fisher, Germaine Greer, Gloria Steinem, Grace Paley, and many more. Blue Plate Special: A Novel of Love, Loss, and Food, by Frances Norris. The title alone made me grab this novel off the shelf at the library, but what kept me reading was the author's sense of individual growth and renewal, healing from grief, all done with a dose of seriousness as well as humor. The lead character, Julia, references her chorus of Inner Critic nonsense quite frequently, and refers to them as "The Parliamentarians." An interesting story of one woman's journey towards wholeness, love, and self-acceptance.
Websites: Visionary Art- by Sue Hoya Sellars. Breathtaking art, inspired by archetypes and mystical worlds. Click on the painting titles on the left menu bar to see more.
Who is Wild Woman?-- Excellent, inspiring article about the archetype of Wild Woman, La Loba. Be sure to click on "Be A Wild Woman" on the left menu bar to see another wonderful article about how we can bring this energy into our own lives more and more each day.
Inner World- Fun, colorful site by Michele Bernhardt. Michele's message is simple - you already possess all of the knowledge you will ever need. Our task is to rediscover - to remember - those universal truths inside us all. Michele views her role as merely assisting in that quest, helping others to 'honor thyself.' There's lots to click on here... and much to engage your imagination!

These collaged cards are used only for the cardmaker's own inner exploration. SoulCollage cards are not sold, traded, bartered, or copied (except as a back-up for the cardmakers own use) as is stated in the Principles of SoulCollage®.
Where SoulCollage cards are available to be seen by others,
it is for the purposes either of demonstrating the SoulCollage process
or of sharing the cardmakers' inner process in the context of community.
SoulCollage® is grateful to the artists and photographers
who make this deep awakening process possible
and in all ways SoulCollage® seeks to be respectful of their rights.
