Description of the SoulCollage® Facilitator Training
The training will focus on how to facilitate individuals and groups in making and using SoulCollage® cards.
Those interested in forming SoulCollage® groups or in using SoulCollage® in already established groups such as church groups, women's groups, senior groups, hospice, educational classes or as an art technique as an adjunct to other kinds of groups are welcome to register.
These trainings have attracted many therapists and art therapists. Many love the SoulCollage® process and readily see how it can be used in their particular work. Training participants network with each other and share how to adapt the SoulCollage® process to their clientele. Some ministers and lay clergy have also been able to facilitate SoulCollage® in their ministry. Although SoulCollage® can reflect one’s spiritual life and even be used as a spiritual practice, it is not a part of or an advocate of any particular religion. We want to stress that no degree or other credentialing is needed to register for this course and that enthusiasm for the process and its use in one's own life are the chief criteria for participation in the training.
Preparation and pre-requisites
No degree or certification is required to take this training, but Seena Frost requires that participants prepare by reading the book, listening to Seena's two talks about SoulCollage® on audiotapes (or CDs) and creating SoulCollage® cards for their own decks in each suit, so that they can gain experience with their own card-making before working with others. Participants should bring all their SoulCollage® cards when they come for the training.
Those who complete the SoulCollage® training will receive a certificate of completion and may use the SoulCollage® trademark in doing individual or group work according to the Principles of SoulCollage®.
What the SoulCollage® Facilitator Training Covers
The training will include:
How to facilitate SoulCollage® card-making, including
ways to support self-esteem and avoid competition and self-criticism.
How to handle deep feelings and breakthroughs that arise in the work.
How to facilitate emotion in SoulCollage® groups.
Ways to keep a group interested and evolving.
Ways to adapt the process to different individual issues and different populations.
Demonstration of ceremonial work with SoulCollage®
cards.
Discussion about how to use the interactive components of the "SoulCollage® community, including
components: a facilitators’ newsletter, SoulCollage® Exhibitions, and referral listings
of trained SoulCollage® facilitators.
Help in envisioning a plan for facilitating SoulCollage® that fits your own intended use of the technique.
We will make cards, share cards, and use our own
processes as teaching examples for facilitator training. Participants bring the SoulCollage®
cards they have made so far to use in the group exercises.
Pitfalls and trouble spots that might arise when one is working with individuals and groups
using the powerful spiritual and personal images of SoulCollage® will also be discussed.
The SoulCollage® Registered Trademark
The word "SoulCollage®" has been trademarked in order to differentiate this process from other collage processes and to provide the training and professional community support that will help sustain the quality and ethics of SoulCollage® work in groups. We ask that people use the phrases “SoulCollage® facilitator” or “SoulCollage® Group” only if they have been trained by Seena Frost, author of SoulCollage®.
Others may say in their advertising that they will be working in the group "using the process of SoulCollage® as described in Seena B. Frost's book, SoulCollage®. Although this may seem a small distinction, it is important to use the trademark in certain ways that will gradually become recognizable to people as the work spreads. Please also see the Principles of SoulCollage® for additional important guidelines for how to use this work.
