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.

Soul Nourishment
 Resources to support your inner work
as you dive deeper into your beautiful soul
Books:
Journalution: Journaling to Awaken Your Inner Voice, Heal Your Life, and Manifest Your Dreams, by Sandy Grason. Studies confirm what avid journalers have always known: that writing about difficult experiences helps the writer move forward. With chapters including "Completing Your Incompletions," "Masterminding Your Destiny," and "Communicating with a Higher Power," the book balances basic instruction in the art of journaling with intimate entries from the author and her workshop participants. Activities, such as timed and stream-of-consciousness writing exercises and keeping a dream log, follow each chapter. Grason offers guidelines and prompts, encouraging readers to pick up the pen and journal their way to greater self-awareness.
Wisdom Walk: Nine Practices for Creating Peace and Balance from the World's Spiritual Traditions, by Sage Bennett, Ph.D. After experiencing a crisis of faith, the author looked to the practices of the world's religions for help. Here she beautifully outlines nine of these teachings, making them accessible without diminishing them, while exploring the essential beliefs of each tradition. These are the nine practices she discussions in creative detail: creating a home altar (Hinduism), meditating and finding peace (Buddhism), surrendering to prayer (Islam), forgiving yourself and others (Christianity), making time for the Sabbath (Judaism), letting nature be your teacher (Native American Spirituality), going with the flow (Taoism), catching God's vision of your life (New Thought), and offering yourself in service to others (All Traditions).How Art Made the World, by Nigel Spivey. A journey to the origins of human creativity by the host of the PBS mini-series inspired this book. "A fresh introduction to the history of art and, through the visual image, the history of humankind." Spivey's motto is "Everyone is an artist."
Your Psychic Pathway to Joy: A Simple Guide for Living Lightly, by Sonia Choquette, Ph.D. I own a lot of Choquette's books, but this is one I pick up time and again, just for a sweet little lift. It's a small book and filled with easy-to-implement ideas and whimsical illustrations, all designed to inspire you to let more joy flow into your life each day.
Ice Cream for Breakfast,by Leslie Levine. Subtitle: If You Follow All the Rules, You Miss Half the Fun. The author's premise is that breaking just one "rule" a week can make your whole life a little more exciting and full of joy. Whether the rules come from your inner world, or the outer world, challenging yourself to note these rules and find ways to rebel against them are sure signs of taking care of yourself. This book encourages you concretely to give yourself a break.
Movies:
The Russell Girl, featuring Amber Tamblyn, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Jennifer Ehle. Very powerful Hallmark TV movie. Riveting story about the power of forgiveness. Well done, not sappy at all (although you might need a tissue at the end). Websites: Creative Challenges- Colorful, creative site by Robert Alan Black. There's lots here to get your creative juices flowing. Try the Idea Generator too.
Variazione- Lots of links on this page for fr*ee image sources.
Creative Quotations- Search over 50,000 quotations about one of our favorite subjects!

Soul Treasures is brought to you by KaleidoSoul, Spinning the fragments of your world into wholeness and beauty through SoulCollage.
SoulCollage® cards are made either from one's own art or from images found in materials which have been bought by or given to the SoulCollage card maker.
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.
