I am tired of trying to change my outer life- I long to shine light and transform on the inside.
"Thank you Sooooo much Shelley, and for making it free. One of the ladies in my altered book group had found you and the magic of the 10 minute collage -
and I LOVE doing them.
I love the spontaneous collage and have had many calming moments in a stressful work life - 10 mins at a time! Life and sanity saving." S.M. Melbourne Australia
I offer this free course on Deepening Creativity because too often we can approach creativity as just another accomplishment instead of a means of unfolding into our true selves. Most creativity is about expressing what we want to know about ourselves and how we want to be seen. Spontaneous collage taps into the unconscious mind and tells you what you do not know about yourself.
This mini course involves meditating on a small, torn paper spontaneous collage each day for ten days. All you need is two or three torn or cut out images and a word. If everyday feels like too much. Try meditating on one or two small collages a week.
Every second day for 10 days you will receive an e-mail that will encourage towards deeper self-knowledge through spontaneous collage. Consider your collage your daily inner guidance system. A tiny journal will suffice. I use one that measures 5"x7". The aim is to create a small moment of magical spontaneity in your day. Just 10 minutes is all it takes.
There are no hard fast rules. You do not have to tear everything out. If you feel like cutting out an image, do. Just make sure you make your collage quickly. Grab the first 3 images that catch your eye. Add a word or a phrase. Cut out a small detail or two to embellish and then carry your notebook with you throughout the day and ask your collage - what it is telling you. You can make up an answer if one does not flash into your mind. Write it down by the end of the day and begin again tomorrow.
This is a primer mini course to encourage you towards quiet self-reflection. If you are interested in taking your reflective collage practice deeper you can check out Collage for Self-Discovery. If you are already taking the course this is a good way to take a break between Part 1 and Part 2.
