After leading her first
SoulCollage Facilitator Training, Roberta is offering her second
training in Maryland!
Anyone having an interest in leading SoulCollage® groups or introducing SoulCollage into established
groups is welcome to attend this training.
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.
Continuing education credit information
This course
meets the qualifications for 18 continuing education credit for MFTs and/or
LCSWs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences.
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. Seena requests that participants 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.

-
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
Seena will be demonstrating.
-
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.
