Portals and Openings: A Saturday space for the wonder of SoulCollage® at The Soul Shed

4.8(6)

By The Soul Shed

‘Collage is a metaphor for any discovering, gathering ad reweaving of energy bits already formed and present in the universe. A new and personal creation can be made from the ever-present divine chaos of images all around us. Just choose, assemble, name and then inhabit your SoulCollage® cards’ -Seena Frost. Originator/birther of SoulCollage® When we come together to make SoulCollage® in community, amazing things happen. There is a magic in the paradoxes built into this journey that only requires you coming along with your curiosity and imagination. No artistic genius recquired whatsoever. Just your presence! Images have things to say to us. They can call us through our hearts, our instinctual knowing, and our open intuitive minds. In this sense, images offer us potals and openings to a deep wisdom stream. All you need to do is be open to the images that are asking for your attention. Then you make a collage, then you listen to what it wants you to know. It is simple, and prodound. Saturday offerings of SoulCollage® at The Soul Shed are a new online offering this year, following on from my other online offerings: A three part Soulcollage® primer and SoulCollage® with a friend. This one in February is the first , and I hope to offer it bi-monthly. Its ideal for both beginners who would like to try SoulCollage®and experienced SoulCollagers who would like a boost of community creative energy to their practice ! It also will pair beautifully with the lunar-monthly New Moon offering at The Soul Shed - Sunday Openings. If you would like a collaging pack of 50 mixed images and six blank cards plus a dry glue stick, please add on at the check out! Because SoulCollage® is a transformational experience, it is hard to convery this in writing. Here are some things past participants have said: Here are some things people have said about a SoulCollage® session at The Soul Shed: "Loved this workshop, from start to finish it made my heart sing.  It was a feast for the soul with words and images that were crafted into something rich and deep for me" -J.E "What stood out for me was how it just happened ....one thing alchemised into another thing” - L.B "I'd describe it as a good way to reconnect with your creative side, relax and maybe gain insight into what is happening inside you" - D.F.

Medicine Journey: Healing in Community

5.0(14)

By Numinity

Medicine Journey: Healing in Community Healing is not a solo journey - all of us require connection, support and accountability to keep us moving in the right direction. Ceremonies open deep doors, but without the right preparation and integration, those openings can feel overwhelming, incomplete and at worst, harmful. This framework is designed to teach and empower you to harness the power of community as an essential vessel for your ongoing healing and growth. What Makes This Different: Harness the Power of Community: By preparing and integrating as part of a small group, you’ll discover how connection and mutual support amplify the transformative potential of your journey. Empower Yourself: By becoming your own healer. We will give you the tools, insights, and confidence to navigate your healing path long after the ceremony itself. Be Part of a Framework for Growth: You’ll join a micro-community that extends beyond the ceremony, offering support, accountability, and resources to keep you grounded, inspired and moving forward. What’s Included: Pre-Ceremony Preparation: Participate in a group call to set intentions, open up, and connect with your fellow participants. Learn how to prepare to get the most out of your medicine journey. Receive a comprehensive guide on how to prepare. 1-1 Consultation: A private consultation with Diego to discuss and decide on the right dose for your journey. The Ceremony: Step into a safe, sacred space for healing in a small group ceremony, where you’ll be supported yet empowered to work by taking your intention directly to the medicine. Integration and Ongoing Support: After the ceremony, you’ll receive a comprehensive guide, join a follow-up call, and continue to thrive as part of a micro-community hub designed to keep you on track. This is a chance to experience a framework of support that can transform one journey into long-lasting growth. Booking Details: Total cost: £300 (balance payable two weeks before the ceremony). £50 non-refundable deposit to reserve your spot. Ceremony Dates: Saturday 8th February, 12–6pm (2 spots left) Sunday 9th February, 12–6pm (3 spots left) Group Call Dates:* Preparation - Monday 3rd February, 7-9pm Integration - Monday 17th February, 7-9pm *Please note, if you are unable to make a call, you can still join the hub, and will still have access to the same resources. Please take the time to introduce yourself and connect with the rest of the group once you join the hub. Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the group intimate. If you’re ready, you can book your spot today.

Cambridge Open College has been providing distance learning, home study, open learning and correspondence courses since 2006. The College’s founders have more than 25 years combined expertise in education generally, and distance learning (also known as home study) in particular. Few distance-learning establishments have more experience at a “hands on” level; we’ve all been tutors and assessors in the sector for many years. Heavy investment in state-of-the-art technology has typified the College’s development, particularly in its more recent history. Our systems are second to none, and make your learning experience as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible. The College provides more than 120 courses across 5 faculties, successful completion of which result in nationally recognised qualifications listed on the Qualification Credit Framework (QCF), or certification for specialist bespoke (unregulated) qualifications. Most are endorsed or accredited by some of the UK’s most prolific Awarding Organisations. The college’s students come from all walks of life, and undertake the courses for a wide range of reasons, including career enhancement, continuous professional development (CPD), and studying purely for fun to expand their existing knowledge of a hobby or stimulating subject. We exist because of our students. You are the most important resource we have. If you want to study a course we don’t currently have, let us know. We are always looking for more to satisfy our growing alumni. If you notice anything on the website, in your course materials or in any of your interaction with us that is not satisfactory in any way, then please tell us. We want your learning journey to be as fulfilling and enjoyable as possible.
