Zentangle and SoulCollage®
In 2012 I found Zentangle by accident while looking for some quilting software. Many people have found Zentangle by a similar happy accident. In 2015 I found Sharla Hicks who taught and inspired me to take my Zentangle practice further. I took classes with Sharla for a number of years including multi-day retreats in the beauty of the town of Big Bear.
In 2018 I took a trip to Providence, Rhode Island to become a Certified Zentangle Teacher. I have since taught a number of classes demonstrating the power of the Zentangle Method and the emphasis on "No Mistakes." The ability to demonstrate one's own creativity and the power of a group to create art is the gift of Zentangle.
SoulCollage® came to me through Sharla at one of those Big Bear retreats. I immediately became intrigued by the use of collage of my childhood crafting, and the power of images. The use of images aligns deeply with the Points of You training I completed from the coaching perspective.
In late 2020 I was able to take an intensive weekend program with Chantel Zimmerman to teach me the real fundamentals of the SoulCollage® process and approach. The book by the SoulCollage® creator, Seena Frost is a great tool to support the experience in a class.
In the summer of 2021, I completed the SoulCollage® Facilitator training. I have used my SoulCollage® cards in my work with my own therapist, unlocking meaning and thought well beyond what I could have connected to with words alone.
