Harvesting Hope in Times of Change Through SoulCollage® with Vicky Curtiss

Where do we find and instill hope in seasons of change? We will create Soul Collage® cards and journal with reflection questions to explore multiple dimensions of what nurtures hope in us in the midst of a world that is, at times, uncertain, worrisome, and chaotic. Poetry and music will enhance our time together. Whether you are experienced or brand new to SoulCollage®, we welcome you to a morning of discovery!

What is SoulCollage®? SoulCollage® is an experience of self-reflection using images that speak to you. It develops your creativity and intuition, encourages self-discovery, and provides personal guidance. It meets you wherever you are on this journey called life. You don’t have to be an artist to participate, anyone can create and enjoy this powerful practice.
