I admire your courage to post the reading transcript of The Searcher. I know it was from your heart.<BR/><BR/>I bought the SoulCollage book and as I read through it last night, I realized that had I NOT gone to Suzie's class, I probably would have been turned off by this. It has the potential to be all that touchy, feely mumbo jumbo. But the class did NOT make me feel that way. Suzie was an exceptional facilitator. She taught that SoulCollage is a tool to appreciate and celebrate who we are, what we've done, and where we're going! To trust ourselves. SoulCollage is basically a means of objectively ARTICULATING these things. At least that's my spin on it! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30630699.post-1152414021729738162006-07-08T20:00:00.000-07:002006-07-08T20:00:00.000-07:00Oh-forgot to mention, this class was through PCC, ...Oh-forgot to mention, this class was through PCC, at the Sylvania campus.

I mentioned your group during the class and also sent the link to the teacher. Her office is close to us, at 122 and Foster.<BR/><BR/>I'd never been to First Impressions, and don't know about where it's "housed" now. She mentioned the owner's retirement during the class. But upon consulting her schedule, I see that Suzie has classes scheduled there through August. (Looking closer, it looks like maybe there were on the First Impressions schedule and are actually happening at her studio.) <BR/><BR/>Maybe this has the power to become very spiritual/tarot-like/woowoo? But the basics of the class that we learned today were very intuitive, developing self-expression. The teacher is interested in Chakras and some other spiritual things, but that area is not something I've explored in the past so I can't really comment on how it feels for me. I am going out to get the book and may also consider the Facilitator training. I was thinking it might be a good match for you, sense it is similar to what you already do, potentially another way to market yourself, and to be a trained facilitator within a network without needing a degree in art therapy. The facilitation (although it appears many who have done it are licensed therapists) calls for mostly therapy-free reflection. (Rules about not making suggestions/assumptions about people's work and such, but opportunities for reflection/questions that people can answer for themselves.)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10476349720367246561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30630699.post-1152410475600012082006-07-08T19:01:00.000-07:002006-07-08T19:01:00.000-07:00nice. using collage in that way appeals to me, but...nice. using collage in that way appeals to me, but i've always worried that soul collage & its teachers are usually more woo-woo than i feel comfortable with. it's a fine line between supportive & spiritual. so to hear that it was professional, useful, structured makes me feel more hopeful about going someday.<BR/><BR/>where was the class held? and i thought first impression was closed now, but the pages you link to indicate it has now become "a community of artists"?gl.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11890196589573443189noreply@blogger.com
