Author, Seena Frost, has designed two kinds of workshops
1. A workshop for self-discovery
This is an introductory workshop for people who want to begin to make SoulCollage cards and learn ways to use the collage cards for their own self-discovery.
Who should participate?
Anyone who is attracted to images and to the fun of learning about her or himself. It is totally unnecessary to have artistic experience. With SoulCollage, everyone is an artist and can have fun!
2. A SoulCollage facilitator training
A workshop for people who want to learn how to teach and facilitate the SoulCollage™ system for self-discovery in groups.
Listen to Seena discuss SoulCollage® in her interview with Pat Sendejas of the Contact Talk Radio show, "Let Go and Grow." (February 18, 2009).

Who should participate?
Anyone who is interested in forming SoulCollage groups or using SoulCollage in already established groups (such as church groups, women’s groups, senior groups, educational classes) or as an art technique as an adjunct to other kinds of groups, classes, or workshops. Therapists and art therapists can also learn more about how to use SoulCollage for art therapy purposes. No degree or other credentialing is needed to register for this course. Persons who might use this in their work include:
- Hospice workers
- Health and wellness counselors
- Clergy and lay leaders
- Educators
- Therapists
- Art Therapists
- Senior group leaders
- Self-Help group organizers
- Youth group leaders
Many group facilitators and art therapists from all over the country have shown interest in training to be SoulCollage Facilitators.
Many people are now facilitating SoulCollage* in groups. Some groups focus particularly on creating SoulCollage cards. Others use SoulCollage as an adjunct to other group work (i.e., in therapy, Breathwork, educational, or church groups). It is a creative and joyful process, easy to do and helps people express and share deep feelings and the many unique parts of themselves.
The training focuses on how to facilitate making and using SoulCollage cards with individuals and groups.
SoulCollage author, Seena Frost, teaches using her experience of more than ten years of facilitating SoulCollage in groups:
- How to facilitate SoulCollage card-making, including ways to support self-esteem and avoid competition and self-criticism
- How to handle deep feelings and breakthroughs that arise in the work
- How to facilitate emotion in SoulCollage groups
- Ways to keep a group interested and evolving
- Ways to adapt the process to different individual issues and different populations
In addition the training includes:
- Kylea Taylor, author of The Ethics of Caring, sharing some ways to avoid the pitfalls and trouble spots that might arise when one is working with individuals and groups using the powerful spiritual and personal images of SoulCollage.
- Making cards, sharing cards, and using our own processes as teaching examples for training us as facilitators.
- Participating in and learning ways to do ceremonial work with SoulCollage cards.
- Introducing the interactive components of the SoulCollage website to support and encourage "SoulCollage" community, including components such as the SoulCollage Forum, submission of SoulCollage cards to the online gallery, Seena’s newsletter, SoulCollage Art Shows, and referral listings of trained SoulCollage facilitators.
- Helping you construct a plan for facilitating SoulCollage that fits your own use of the technique.
CEUs
This course meets the qualifications for continuing education credit for MFTs and/or LCSWs as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences.
The SoulCollage™ trademark
The word "SoulCollage" is trademarked in order to differentiate the process from other collage processes and to provide the training, supervision, and community support we feel would be important to ethical work in groups with the cards. We ask that people only use the phrases “SoulCollage facilitator” or “SoulCollage Group” if they have been trained by Seena Frost, author of SoulCollage. Others may say in their advertising that they will be working in the group using the process of SoulCollage(tm) as described in Seena B. Frost's book, “SoulCollage”. It seems a small distinction, but it is important to us to use the trademark in certain ways that will gradually become recognizable to people as the work spreads.
