SoulCollage® is an intuitive process using images to create personal prayer cards. SoulCollage® helps name the parts of ourselves that we value and also want to work on--as well as naming the parts of the Divine that we often overlook.

A visual journal to discover your inner voice, this process can be a spiritual practice of tending soul while expressing self. People are amazed at the beauty of their cards and the ability to access inner wisdom as the cards are held in prayerful listening. Fortunately you do not need to be an artist or have artistic skills to be successful in creating SoulCollage® cards!

Using pre-made images from magazines, anyone can create and enjoy this powerful practice.
