SoulCollage Workshops and Readings
Class Description: SoulCollage is a meditative collage process created by Seena Frost (www.soulcollage.com) in California. SoulCollage cards are created by cutting out pictures from magazines and then spontaneously making them into collages. The cards are then "read" aloud by you and the insights you glean from them are amazing. Not only do you have beautiful works of art, you gain inner guidance too! You do not have to be an artist to do this! The results are profound and you can create your own intuitive deck of SoulCollage cards. In addition to workshops, Alchemy hosts monthly readings. Pre-registration required.
Cost: $45.00 fee plus $10.00 for supplies for the 3-hour introduction workshop. Monthly reading sessions are $5.00 each month. Please make your check out to Alchemy for $55 or click the button below to pay online.
Class Size: Minimum = 3 people, Maximum = 9 people.
