If you have been enjoying SoulCollage® for yourself, then you understand the power of this process.
You know . . .
That each card depicts a certain aspect of the self
That you are one person with many parts
That this is an empowering tool for self-understanding
That the true magic of SoulCollage® happens when we read our cards
The Call
Do you feel called to share this experience, this powerful tool with others? The SoulCollage® Facilitator Training is for anyone who wants to facilitate SoulCollage® for self-discovery in groups and with individuals. You don’t need any qualifications to take the SoulCollage® Training, but you must have a desire to share this experience and you must complete the prerequisites (follow the link below to find out more). SoulCollage® complements many other healing and self-understanding modalities.
The primary focus of a SoulCollage® Training is to teach participants to be SoulCollage® Facilitators, so this is not a SoulCollage® retreat or workshop, even though in both settings a participant may experience deep personal process. We expect that you are taking the Training because SoulCollage® has been meaningful to you in your own process, and you are eager to share SoulCollage®. There will be time for making cards.
After completing the Training, participants receive a certificate of completion conferring the right to use the name "SoulCollage®" in the title of their groups or workshops and to call themselves "SoulCollage® Facilitators." This four-day SoulCollage® Facilitator Training is required in order to call yourself a SoulCollage® Facilitator and your groups SoulCollage® Groups.
All bodies, from all backgrounds, regardless of ethnicity, gender, race, or sexual orientation are welcome!
Prerequisites
IMPORTANT: Before registering for the Triaining, please follow this link to the Free Facilitator Training Prep Course. This will outline all the pre-requisites needed to take this Training.
By registering for this Training, you agree to complete these prerequisites. Your Trainer and your Training colleagues will appreciate that you have completed the basics before you come. On the rare occasions when people come unprepared, they get less out of the experience.
If you haven’t taken an Introductory workshop (a prerequisite), I have an Introductory workshop in which will teach all the foundational elements of SoulCollage® on September 11th.

Sign up for this Training by September 5th and you can take the Introductory Workshop for free!
SoulCollage® originally was designed and evolved as an adult activity. Unless you are a licensed clinician or teacher working with children in schools or are under the direct supervision of teachers working within schools, SoulCollage® Facilitators are advised not to work with collage and emotional expression with children who are not their own children.
Schedule
The Training Schedule comprises 28 hours of instruction.
Training will be from Thursday, November 3rd - Sunday, November 6th from 9 am - 5 pm each day with an hour for lunch from 12:30 - 1:30.
You must be on time and attend all sessions to receive your Certificate of Completion.
Please note that the Training is fast-paced and we cover a lot of territory in a relatively short period of time. It is not intended to be a retreat. Please come well rested and prepared to learn. This Training has been condensed to make it as affordable as possible, so every minute in each session is essential.
There will be required homework each night that will take 10 - 15 minutes.
Location
Colleen’s home studio is in picturesque Bellingham, WA, where the mountains meet the sea, on the homelands of the Coast Salish peoples, namely the Lummi Nation and the Nooksack tribes. The Coast Salish peoples have lived and nurtured this land since time immemorial. My home, just 90 miles north of Seattle, overlooks a backyard forest and a salmon stream.
Colleen will have a catered lunch everyday.
Breakfast and dinner is on your own.
Space is limited to ten participants
so secure your spot early!
Accommodations
Springhill Suites by Marriott, just two miles from Colleen’s home, has a block of rooms at a reduced price for you. Rooms are $149/night and include breakfast. They can guarantee this price up until 30 days prior to the start of the Training. There is the option of getting a room at that rate with two queen beds if you’d like to share the cost of the room with another participant. Click here to make your reservation.
