SoulCollage®
Discover yourself in the cards
SoulCollage® is an easy creative process where you use images plus your intuition and imagination to create a personal deck of cards that reflect the many aspects of YOU.
What is SoulCollage®?
SoulCollage® cards created by Sue Meek
SoulCollage® is a fun creative collage practice - anyone can create a SoulCollage® card – you just need glue, scissors, some images, and something to stick them on.
SoulCollage® cards are created intuitively by choosing and collaging images that resonate with you. The SoulCollage® cards you create will show some of the many, varied aspects of you.
Your cards will reflect your personality, the roles you play in your life, your hobbies and interests, and people that are important in your life. They will also hold clues to your hopes and dreams.
SoulCollage® can be a tool that can help you uncover your true feelings, dreams, and motivations. It has helped me trust my intuition and get in touch with my inner wisdom. And my SoulCollage® practice has helped me navigate many changes and phases in my life story.
As the SoulCollage® motto says: “Find your wisdom, change your world”.
SoulCollage® origins
Seena Frost SoulCollage® card created by Sue Meek
The SoulCollage® process is based on aspects of Jungian psychology and transpersonal psychology, and was developed by Seena B. Frost, a licensed therapist with Master’s degrees in psychology and theology. Seena Frost designed the SoulCollage® process to include four Suits, with each suit reflecting a different aspect of our selves: Committee (aspects of ourselves), Community (people that are important in our lives), Companions (animal guides and helpers), and Council (archetypes). You can read more about the suits below.
Making SoulCollage® cards is a way to express ourselves creatively, and explore aspects of ourselves and our lives. Sharing our cards and journaling with them allows us to go deeper and discover more about ourselves. We can also consult our cards about our life questions, using these personal cards to help us access our own inner wisdom.
The 4 SoulCollage® suits
-
Committee
“Your inner voices”: These cards are all about you: the various roles you play in your life now or in the past, your job(s) and career, aspects of your personality, your hobbies and so on. In my deck for example I have mother, scientist, and artist cards.
-
Community
“Your support team”: People who are important in your life - they can be people you actually know, like your family and friends, as well as authors or celebrities who have influenced you. A beloved pet can also be part of your community cards. And some people include fictional characters they feel very connected with, e.g. Anne of Green Gables, or Spock from Star Trek.
-
Council
“Archetypes”: An archetype is a universal symbol, pattern, or character-type that appears in stories from different cultures around the world. Examples of archetypes are Mother, Hero, Warrior, and Creator. Other archetypes may be symbolic, like fire (destruction & regrowth), or autumn (change, endings)
-
Companions
“Animal energies”: These are animal helpers and guides. Traditionally in SoulCollage® decks there are 7 companion animals, each one embodying a different kind of archetypal “energy”. These 7 life energies are survival instincts, passion & creativity, our core essence/personal power, love & connection, communication and expression, intuition and wisdom, and a connection to “something bigger”.
