Our Next Tele-Class
     Eckhart Tolle, SoulCollage®, and The Source
     with Fran Cherlow, SoulCollage Facilitator in California


We’ll take an inspired look at the transpersonal nature of SoulCollage and the book A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, focusing on how we embody this understanding in our lives. Tolle says that consciousness (or the "I Am" experience) is in the background of our lives. What tools can we develop to build this awareness into our everyday lives and what relationship does it have with SoulCollage? Please bring your own questions and musing for this abundant discussion.

Suggested handouts to read before the class.
These include Quotations from the book A New Earth, reflection questions, and a chart that compares and contrasts concepts between SoulCollage and A New Earth.

NOTE:  It is NOT necessary to read the book, A New Earth, before attending this tele-class.

Fran L. Cherlow, MA, LMFT, is a licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist and a SoulCollage Facilitator in Long Beach, California. In this capacity, she has been facilitating groups and workshops since 2004. Fran was the Chairperson of the first annual SoulCollage Facilitators Conference in 2007, and assisted Mariabruna Sirabella in New Mexico during a recent Facilitator's Training. She co-facilitated a discussion group (on this same topic) with Seena Frost at the second annual SoulCollage Conference in California this year. Recently, the construction of her sacred SoulCollage space was completed and she will inaugurate it with a workshop on the Community Suit honoring a departed loved one or beloved animal.

School of the Seasonss
Align yourself with the rhythms of the Earth. Ideas for bringing the beauty of the current season into your life.




Cry, the Beloved Country, featuring James Earl Jones. Makes an eloquent statement about the transformative power of forgiveness. Stephen Kumalo, an Anglican clergyman from a rural Zulu village, travels to South Africa to find his son, Absalom. The two have been estranged, and now he learns the boy is in prison for killing an idealistic white man known for his altruistic work with blacks. Although Absalom insists the shooting was an accident, Kumalo is filled with remorse and seeks out James Jarvis, the dead man’s father, a rich white supremacist from their province. --- from SpiritualRx, Prescriptions for Living a Meaningful Life, by Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

Soul Nourishment - Books


The Healing Secrets of Food, by Deborah Kesten.
A Practical Guide for Nourishing Body, Mind, and Soul. Did you know that most cultures have a sacred, spiritual regard toward eating? It seems that many of us (myself included) have forgotten this vital connection in our daily busy-ness and struggles. Deborah’s book brings us back to the serious belief that our food is not simply physical things but substances that are intimately connected with our mind and consciousness.

The Woman’s Belly Book, by Lisa Sarasohn.
Finding Your True Center for More Energy, Confidence, and Pleasuree. This wise yet practical book is all about trusting our “guts” and reclaiming the wisdom of our bellies. If you struggle with loving your belly, or any other part of your body, you will find this book delightful and helpful in bringing you back to self-acceptance and a healthier body image.

The Language of Letting Go, by Melody Beattie.
A daily book of meditations for anyone on the path to serenity, and a healthy inner relationship. This book really saved my life years ago when I was struggling with a codependent relationship with an alcoholic, but its wisdom still speaks to me today. Readings include becoming whole in a wide variety of areas: relationships, asking for what you want, boundaries, finances, work, intimacy, having fun… just to name a few.
Soul Treasures is brought to you by

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 card maker's 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 card maker's 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.
