What you will Learn

 

Our Facilitator Training focuses on preparing you to train others how to explore the depth and mystery of the SoulCollage® process to rather than card-making as in a workshop. You will experience in depth "readings" to call up your own intuition and deepen self-knowledge.  Here are just some of the things you will learn:

  • Creative ways to use and teach SoulCollage®
  • Principles of facilitating SoulCollage
  • Learn by doing. You will make cards, share cards as a way to understand the principles of SoulCollage® from the point of view of a client.
  • Ways to create a safe structure which both protects and encourages self-discovery, without doing therapy. 
  • How to use SoulCollage® as a self-guided spiritual practice
  • Practical methods for giving reflective feedback and how this differs from analyzing, giving advice or stating opinions
  • Ways to use SoulCollage® in ceremony and with ritual to deepen the practice
  • You will also receive ideas on marketing your workshops, Including how to use: 
  • The internet to create your "SoulCollage® " community & email marketing
  • SoulCollage® Facilitators' listserve yahoo group
  • Facilitator's "Neter Letter" newsletter,
  • SoulCollage® Exhibitions
  • Referral listings on the website for trained SoulCollage® Facilitators

You will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the Training.  Once you receive your certificate, you may use the SoulCollage® trademark in doing individual or group work according to the Principles of SoulCollage®. Thus, SoulCollage® trains, rather than "certifies", facilitators.  To receive a "Certificate of Completion" you must attend the training from start to finish.

About Suzie


I was thrilled to be in the second group of Facilitators trained by Seena Frost LMFT in June of 2004.  And just 7 years later there are nearly 900 of us facilitating SoulCollage® world wide.   I’ve been working with my cards for over 7 years, and use them frequently for my personal enrichment.  I also use my cards for business planning, problem solving and visioning. It seems we are only beginning to realize the power of this magnificent tool.

I’ve had a unique opportunity to offer SoulCollage® for patients in the Providence Out Patient Behavioral Health Program.  In the last 6 years have lead over 200 SoulCollage® groups totally nearly 1000 face to face hours.  My psychotherapy clients have found they not only feel better but make deeper progress and have more fun using SoulCollage®.  In addition, my 2000 plus hours of training in metaphysics gives you the advantage of working with an experienced and skilled Trainer, with a very wide range of knowledge to share. 

My teaching experience includes over 10,000 hours of psycho-educational and group therapy.  I’ve taught art workshops, international trade, college level statistics as well SoulCollage® mentioned above. See my web site (www.suziewolfer.com)  for details of my training, education and experience.

Perhaps the best qualification however is that after 7 years of working with my own cards, my passion for SoulCollage® deepens. I delight in offering this tool to other kindred spirits.  Hope you will join me!

What people are saying



















“I feel empowered and have a clear direction after our work together.  I would pay double for this exposure and insight. . . . you now occupy a front row seat in my internal gratitude "auditorium"  --  Thank you so much for doing this work--and making it so matter of fact, devoid of shame, and FUN.   I will see you again.”                                                                                                                                       B. K.  Full Time Mother, Portland, Oregon

“Working with you stands at the top of some of the most challenging and rewarding work I have ever done.  The way you worked with me allowed me to dive deep.   You do very good depth work without getting in the way.  This is truly a gift.  I am grateful.”

                                                              C. C., web designer and photographer, Gresham Oregon

“You did an absolutely splendid job and the SoulCollage® experience was extremely helpful to me.  My card keeps "talking" to me.  I am amazed that I thought I was making a card about woundedness and weakness and it turned out to reveal and reinforce strength that I didn't know I had.   I'm gonna sink my teeth into this process.  IT IS VERY POWERFUL! (But I'm sure you already knew that!)  Thank you again.  I doubt you know how very gifted you are.  I so deeply appreciate and admire your openness and authenticity.  You are wonderful.  And you're a very, very good teacher.  PS  That may be the best workshop I've ever been to.”     

J. S., Psychotherapist, Lake Oswego, Oregon

"Amazing!  For an East Coast Skeptic, this was amazing to help on my journey of understanding myself.  I gained an understanding of a particular problem I had."      

                                                                                  L. J., NIH Researcher,  Washington DC

"It's amazing I could do this [SoulCollage] at all.  At almost 86 years old, I did not expect to become so excited about learning a new way to understand my life, past and present.” 

                                                                                                   H. D.  Beaverton, Oregon


“I trust entering a group you facilitate because I know the safe experience you will create. I'm not sure exactly how you do it, but I know that you are conscious in your intention, fully present and lead by example. You build a group where we all know we are accepted and belong - it becomes "our" group.”
