Have you been practicing SoulCollage^® for your own personal enrichment and now want to take the next step and share it with your friends, women's group, or church?

Are you a coach, art therapist, social worker, spiritual director, or other helping professional looking for a creative tool to help your clients tap into their intuition and inner wisdom?

Or, are you an artist who's interested in facilitating others' self-discovery through

creative processes?

Please join Noelle Remington for four rich and rewarding days as we explore and practice the process of "facilitating SoulCollage^®." Whether you're an experienced SoulCollager or are newly discovering the process, this training is appropriate for you if you are interested in facilitating SoulCollage workshops and retreats, using SoulCollage in already established groups, or using the process as an adjunct to your professional work. You don't need a degree or other credentials, just enthusiasm for the process and a desire to share SoulCollage with others.

The weekend will include a lively mix of lecture, experiential learning, reflective writing, and lots of sharing and discussion in both large and small groups. In addition, we will make cards, share cards, do readings, and use our own experiences as teaching examples for the group. We'll cover:

How to create a safe, supportive, and sacred space in which participants are empowered to take care of their own well-being and feel free to explore and discover their self through SoulCollage
Ways to facilitate card-making and invite the artist in everyone to come out and play in a judgment-free environment
Exercises to use with groups and individuals to help them deepen their understanding of their cards Ideas for facilitating readings and creating new spreads
Guidelines for modeling and encouraging reflective feedback from participants during readings and card sharing (vs. advice giving or opinion)
Ways to use SoulCollage in ritual and celebration
A variety of formats for leading introductory workshops and ways to adapt the process for specific audiences and groups
Guidance on posting your facilitator bio and workshops on the SoulCollage website and using the interactive components of the SoulCollage^® Facilitator community, including the facilitator e-newsletter and listserve
Coaching to support you in creating a personal vision for facilitating SoulCollage that lights you up and utilizes your unique gifts and interests

On completion of the SoulCollage^® Facilitator Training you will receive a "Certificate of Completion" which will allow you to call yourself a SoulCollage^® Facilitator and use the SoulCollage^® trademark when you do individual or group work according to the Principles of SoulCollage.

Special Note: To receive a "Certificate of Completion" you must attend the training in its entirety. Please see the Training & Logistics page for a complete schedule of the four days.
