Location

Talaris Conference Center rests near a large wildlife pond on an 18-acre wooded oasis of lovely landscaped lawns, courtyards, and walking paths that foster reflection and creativity. Located five miles north of downtown Seattle and just blocks from the University of Washington campus, Talaris is truly minutes from the city...yet miles from distraction.

Preparation and Prerequisites

Please prepare for the training by:

Reading Seena's book SoulCollage®
Reading Seena's article "The Transpersonal Cards of the SoulCollage^® Deck" (it describes two additional cards which were added after the book was published)
Listening to her two CDs (one is an Introduction to SoulCollage^® with a guided meditation, the other is about Facilitating SoulCollage in Groups)
Reading and familiarizing yourself with the Principles of SoulCollage^®
Making at least a few cards in each suit for your SoulCollage deck (this is important so that you can gain experience with your own card-making before learning how to facilitate the process with others)

In addition, you might also consider taking an introductory SoulCollage^® workshop prior to the training if it is feasible to do so, and if you haven't done so already. This will give you an opportunity to experience the process first as a participant before we engage with the material as facilitators. If you live in the Seattle area, Maggie Yowell and Alia Calendar will be offering introductory workshops throughout the summer and fall. Or, search for a trained facilitator in your area. Please know that attending an introductory workshop is a "nice-to-have" and not a prerequisite for the training.
