April’s demo artist will be our own Rhonda Fisher! Join us on April 9th for an introduction to the SoulCollage® process. Rhonda will be showing some of her own cards, talking about how they came to be and discussing their deep, personal meaning. Plus she plans to lead us into a tiny piece of the SoulCollage(R) experience. This will be a very thought provoking session!

SoulCollage® is an expressive arts practice done individually or in community. SoulCollage® was created by Seena Frost in the 1980’s, incorporating her background in psychology and spirituality. The method develops creativity and intuition, encourages self-discovery, and provides personal guidance. SoulCollage® meets you where you are on this journey called life. You don’t have to be an artist to make SoulCollage® cards. Anyone can create and enjoy this powerful practice. This practice has evolved into a global community, currently with 6300 trained facilitators in 65 countries. The presenter will give an introduction and overview of the SoulCollage® process, including a brief experiential exercise for participants.

Biography

I grew up in Maine and spent most of my adult life in the San Francisco Bay Area and Portland, Oregon. I hold a Master of Social Work degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and worked for most of my career as a clinical social worker in the fields of mental health, hospice, and palliative care.

A few years before retiring, I was introduced to the expressive art, SoulCollage®, and was immediately drawn to its depth and richness. In 2019, I became a certified SoulCollage® Facilitator and have since taught classes both online and at GVR.

I have been an active member of both the Pacific Northwest SoulCollage® Facilitators group and the Arizona Facilitators group. In addition to teaching SoulCollage®, I have participated for several years in a Jungian-based dream circle. I am also an active member of the SRAL, with an interest in watercolor, acrylic, and abstract painting. I co-lead the “Abstract Explorers” Special Interest Group (SIG) and volunteer as both a monitor and a SIG Team Leader.
