Soulcollage Spring 2025 retreat

     Friday, May 2,  3:00 PM    to    Sunday, May 4,  11:00  AM 

the Magical mystery tour of SoulCollagE®

 Your SoulCollage® Deck is the Story of You! Create a unique deck of colorful, collaged SoulCollage® cards with deep personal meaning. Consult your cards, discover your inner wisdom and find answers to life’s questions. Anyone can enjoy this fun, powerful and satisfying method. 


This retreat is designed for anyone who is interested in exploring their creativity and using it as a tool for self-exploration. SoulCollage is an intuitive, creative and often transformative process that requires no artistic skills since you use found images that are pieced together to make a SoulCollage card. Founder, Seena Frost says,  "with SoulCollage, anyone can be an artist!"  And, the intent with SoulCollage is to make meaning, rather than make art, so the focus is not on the outcome of what the card looks like. After intuitively piecing images together to make a whole new image,  your card will speak to you using prescribed prompts, where you'll glean new insights and guidance from deep within.  


 The benefits of this retreat are:  


  • carving a nurturing time and space in the majestic redwoods, away from intense world events 
  • discovering how  your intuition and creativity can be a pathway to self-exploration.
  • deepening your understanding of the breadth of SoulCollage.
  • connecting more deeply with your SoulCollage deck and explore ways to access its wisdom and power.    
  • being in community with like minded people, generating hope, strength and faith that the world has the capacity to heal.



Activities will include card making, working with your cards, journaling and sharing in small and larger groups where the power of community comes alive. You'll have an opportunity to explore connections between your Committee cards and your Council cards (see more information below.)  There will be other activates that support self-nurturing and self -discovery.  You’ll leave the retreat with a calmer nervous system, greater connection to yourself and your SoulCollage practice and an enhanced capacity for a more authentic life. 


Committee Suit

Committee Suit

Committee Suit

"Conductor"


The Committee suit contains cards representing our persona, personality and even shadowed or out of balance aspects. These inner parts chatter in our minds day and night, each seeming to have needs, prejudices and goals. Sometimes these inner parts contradict each other and/or have conflicting needs. Making cards for our varied aspects can help us obtain a deeper understanding of these parts and encourage cooperation between them. 

Council Suit

Committee Suit

Committee Suit

"Magician"


The Council suit is the most mysterious of the four suits. These cards usually feel more mythical and compelling than our Committee cards. They contain the magnetic and invisible energies of archetypes which act as metaphors with images that grab and direct us. Council cards speak the language of the heart rather than of the mind, the ego or other people, and seem to have a lot of power to bring transformation. Threads of some archetypes weave into your life for phases and some for your whole life. 

Explore the intersection between the Committee and Council Suits

  • During the 3 days you will have an opportunity to explore the intersection of the Committee and the Council Suits. 
  • Committee cards include the varied aspects of you and your unique way of showing up in the world. Some aspects are ones you are conscious of and some cards reveal aspects you are not as aware of. 
  • The Council cards represent archetypal energies, those universal energies that are actively at work and at play in your unique soul. Archetypes appear in every culture across time, yet known by many different names. 


It is a fun exploration to discover which archetypes have played out in your life and will show up as some aspects of you in your Committee cards.

Facilitator - Karen Haas, MA, AMFT

As a life-time soul seeker, I earnestly strive for personal growth and transformative experiences. For over a decade, SoulCollage has provided me a creative and gentle way to continue listening deeply and living more and more authentically. My self-made oracle cards never cease to surprise, motivate and guide me. They help me make new discoveries, carrying me beyond what I believe about myself and my world. And the most exciting aspect of SoulCollage has been sharing it's transformative power with others.
