Heart Space: A  SoulCollage
®  Gathering  on Love & Connection
Sunday, February 8, 2026
2 pm ET - 4 pm ET

Via Zoom
Register Here by January 25, 2026 to receive optional materials by mail. Deadline for all others, February 4, 2026.

Love exists in many forms — self-love, the love of family, friendships, and the love that binds communities together. Yet in the midst of life’s busyness, it’s easy to lose touch with the heart’s wisdom. Heart Space invites you to slow down and reconnect with the healing power of love through the intuitive and transformative process of SoulCollage®.

In this two-hour virtual workshop, you’ll be gently guided through a creative journey that honors love as a unifying and restorative force. Through a combination of guided imagery, mindful reflection, intuitive collage-making, and journaling, we’ll explore the ways love flows through our lives — sustaining us, connecting us, and reminding us of our shared humanity.

Together, we will:
  • Create SoulCollage® cards that reflect your personal heart journey and the relationships that nurture you
  • Engage in a short guided meditation to open your heart to self-compassion and connection
  • Journal and share insights in a supportive, uplifting community of fellow creatives
  • Discover how your SoulCollage® cards can become touchstones for renewal, gratitude, and deeper connection

No prior art experience is necessary, however some foundational SoulCollage® experience is helpful. This workshop provides a sacred, creative space where love can be seen, shared, and renewed through the language of imagery and intuition.

What is SoulCollage®?


SoulCollage® is a deeply personal, creative collage practice that supports:
  • Self-discovery, acceptance, and empowerment
  • Intuitive insight and creative expression
  • Inclusive community and mutual encouragement
  • Soulful healing through imagery, imagination, and reflection


What to Expect:
  • Opening Ritual: Welcome and introductions
  • Focusing Activity: Guided meditation, sacred reading, or poetry
  • Creative Time: Hands-on card making in a quiet, contemplative space
  • Reflection: Journaling and connecting with your new cards
  • Sharing: Small group discussion
  • Closing Ritual: A simple card reading and group closing.

Join us for an afternoon of creativity, connection, and heart-centered reflection — and leave with visual reminders of the love that surrounds and sustains you.

Sacred Rest Meditation for Creatives
Thursday, October 16, 2025

Free, Sign up Here.


This meditation practice serves as a balm if you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or creatively blocked during these uncertain times. This meditation session designed especially for artists, creatives, and writers seeking calm, clarity, and creative renewal.

About the Practice

This meditation is a deeply restful, guided meditation practice that allows the body to relax while the mind remains gently aware. It’s a powerful technique for accessing the subconscious, reducing stress, and restoring inner peace—all while lying down in a comfortable position.

We will do a body scan which will allow you to deeply relax through the practice. 

Why It's Perfect for Creatives:

Reduces anxiety & stress that can block creative flow
Enhances clarity and connection to your inner voice
Boosts imagination and unlocks deeper layers of inspiration
Supports emotional balance and resilience during challenging times

No experience necessary—just bring a yoga mat, a beach towel or blanket, a quiet space, and an open heart. Let this gentle practice be a nourishing pause—a chance to rest, restore, and reconnect with your creative self.

NOTE:  This practice will not be recorded.
