We spend our life until we're 20 deciding what parts of ourself
to put into the bag, and we spend the rest of our lives trying to get them out again.

SoulCollage is artwork that speaks on many different levels. Letting imagery "choose you," SoulCollagers combine clipped images and glue to make small collages. Each collaged card may be used for personal insight and guidance, especially when feeling stuck or unmotivated in your weight loss or life.
The best way to get a sense of SoulCollage is by looking at the cards of others. Below is a slideshow of my personal SoulCollage deck. You can pause any card with your pointer. If you prefer a manual slideshow that you can control and, more importantly, includes the "I am one who..." messages, click on the photo of my SoulCollage space to your left, or press Witness.
My name is Sue. I joined SparkPeople in May 2009 to renew my goals and support others in achieving theirs. While I am a trained SoulCollage facilitator, I join you as a SparkFriend on life's journey to a healthier, less-encumbered body and longer life.
The SoulCollage process is similar to SparkPeople's Vision Collage, only a Vision Collage ends where SoulCollage begins. At our SparkTeam, we learn to make cards in the four SoulCollage suits, complete brief writing exercises, and explore all aspects of the SoulCollage process. This method is based on Seena Frost’s book SoulCollage. Watch for Seena's new book, SoulCollage Evolving, coming in the fall of 2010.

I started SoulCollaging in February 2004. SoulCollage provided a venue for creative expression that countered the behaviors and choices that were undermining my weight loss and healthy living goals. Through the years, each SoulCollage card added to my well-being and sense of wholenessliberating parts of myself long-buried in poet Robert Bly’s "long bag that we drag behind us."
