The 10 Minute Collage E-Course

"You share your wisdom and inspiration in a way that sparks contemplation, expansion as well as self-appreciation and acceptance...and that not only helps my creativity, it helps ME!  Thank you Shelley!"  -C.F. Oak Park Illinois USA

Seeing Yourself in your Creativity

I offer this course on Deepening Creativity through the 10 Minute Collage 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.

Meditating on your 10 Minute Collage

This course involves a commitment to meditating on a small, torn paper spontaneous collage each day for 30 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.

Even a Simple Spontaneous Collage is Profound

Every second day for the next 30 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.

Creating Quickly Bypasses Ordinary Thought

There are no hard and 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 are you telling me?" 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.

The Journey to New Depths Continues

It takes 30 days to create a positive habit. Consider that there are likely more parts of you that want to stay comfortably the same - thinking the same old thoughts and creating the same habits of living - than there are ones interested in achieving new depths of creative seeing and experiencing. It takes effort to go deeper creatively. If you are interested in more inspiration to take your creativity to a deeper level please join me on a 20 day meditation into your True Self with spontaneous collage.

The Effort to See More Deeply

When we express ourselves freely and fully we feel good! When we say we want to be more creative what we are really longing for is to express more of ourselves. How much do you let yourself freely express yourself in your everyday life? If you feel that you could use a daily practice to open you up to more of yourself let me guide you on a journey away from your mechanical, habitual compulsion to maintain the status-quo. There are invisible aspects of your True self that need nurturing and guidance.
