SoulCollage: ReDiscover your Soul's Essence
with Suzanne Naseby
|
What is SoulCollage®?
SoulCollage is an expressive art process in which you construct, over time, a personal deck of unique, soul-tending cards. It is a process through which you use your intuition to connect with the wisdom of your Soul.
This is a multi-leveled, creative process which anyone can do. No art experience is needed.
We all possess the wisdom we need to solve our troubles.
• relationships • family • work • health • addiction • body image • general happiness
There are many areas of our life were we can feel stuck, where we feel something is blocking us from manifesting our deepest desires, our true intent. We recognise we are often caught in old patterns of thinking about and reacting to what our life unfolds for us.
Finding a fresh perspective of our self, our life and the troubles we experience can be the key to finding our wisdom and the answers we are looking for.
SoulCollage workshops is an opportunity to find what you are looking for, your Wise Self!
At every workshop you will start making your own amazing Soul cards by selecting images, cutting them out and pasting them onto pieces of blank card. Every workshop is suitable for beginners to SoulCollage as well as those who have made cards before and would like to work in a group,
Your facilitator Suzanne Naseby creates a supportive safe environment for you to share with like-minded seekers in a small group setting.
Each SoulCollage card you make will reflect one facet of your Self - your Soul. These facets will speak to you and the words you hear will be your own Divine Wisdom. Over time, as you make more cards, the evolving deck will reflect your many aspects, the extraordinary panorama which is ‘you’ as a whole Being.
The workshop includes:
• Guidance on how to make the cards
• All the materials you need to make cards
• Learning how to work with your cards
• How to do the "I am one who ..." exercise
• A guided meditation thru the chakras
• Working in small groups to explore your card meanings
All materials are supplied!
The cards we create are arranged in suits to facilitate self-exploration and encourage self-acceptance. Creating and ‘reading’ your SoulCollage cards is fun, insightful and an amazing tool to assist you in rediscovering your soul's essence
An opportunity to explore, heal, and transform the Self through the fun and simple art of collage.

In a safe and nurturing space you will be guided through the SoulCollage process. You will experience the magic of SoulCollage as we explore, play and create our own cards and participate in "readings".
The SoulCollage process works with symbols, images, the chakras, animal companions and archetypes to discover the ongoing "story of you."
Every card is unique and personal, forming a visual journal that you can continue creating on your own.

"Thanks so much for the last workshop Suzanne, it was the best workshop/course I have ever attended!" Cheralyn D
"I found it very powerful – thanks for helping me get into it. I’m afraid it is a struggle for me to “park” the rational/conscious (self-conscious?) brain… Thanks once again" Ruth S
"Sometimes there are things deep down inside that I want to express but just can't find the words or do not understand the feelings. Soul collage is a great way for me to get in touch things, it is my souls way of talking to me ... I also find your support during the process to be invaluable, and it was the reason I felt safe to explore the deep feelings. Thanks again." Nadia P

| WEEKEND WORKSHOP |
This 2 day workshop is held at the beautiful Nutcote Cottage, the house of Australia's national treasure May Gibbs - the author of such classic Australian children's stories as Snugglepot and Cuddlepie. Nutcote was specially designed for May Gibbs by the well-known architect B. J. Waterhouse and she lived there for 45 years. From her lovely studio overlooking Sydney harbour at Neutral Bay she wrote and illustrated most of her wonderful books and the long-running cartoon strip Bib and Bub. The house is now a lovely museum which we can visit.
This is a beautiful location for our two day workshop ... I'm certain some of May Gibbs' creative magick will enter our weekend of exploring the SoulCollage process. Over these two days we will experience a deeper exploration of all the suits and have extended opportunities to do more work in pairs, allowing the wisdom of our Soul to be expressed from the cards we make. |

Skeletons & Dirty Linen: Creative Writing Workshop
facilitated by Suzanne Naseby & Eileen Naseby
|
Most of the facts and events of our lives are merely the framework within which our real living gets done. In order to tell an authentic life story we have to go beyond the periphery and find the realities that have actually shaped the core of who we are. Sometimes the truth we discover can be quite unpalatable, but it is also what makes it the most compelling reading.
A serious examination of our lives will reveal all these complexities as well as a multiplicity of unique stories. In order to be able to share our experiences we need to understand how the specific threads of our family history have contributed to our own particular story.
This 2 day workshop (2 consecutive Sundays) allows for an exploration of multigenerational family patterns and 'characters' motivations, as well as ongoing support to assist in developing your own personal creative writing style. Running 2 consecutive Sundays allows for 'homework' and reviewing of writing on your return.
We will work individually and in small groups. With methods such as the genogram, which is used in Family of Origin Therapy, to show you how to pinpoint the influential ‘characters’ and ‘events’ in your family history. In the writing sessions Eileen will demonstrate how to tell your life story in an interesting way using creative writing techniques and exercises. |
"It was a workshop like no other I've attended before, raw, revealing, and well worth it." Helen, Sydney
"I had no idea I could write like that, the emotions that were present on the page truly surprised me." Katrena, Sydney |
At the end of this workshop you will have the beginnings of a structure for your book and some short pieces of writing inspired by recovered memories and your own creativity.
These workshops are suitable for those who have just begun their memoir, as well as those who are at a more advanced stage. |
