The Lazy Days of Summer

I am a young girl, living on my family homestead in rural Minnesota.

The wind is softly blowing in the mighty tres leaves above my head. The quilt on which I am laying is nestled onto a bed of thick green fluffy grass. The textures of the bunchy quilt, the smells of the afternoon air, the sounds of the birds and wind in the trees are my context for imagination.

The sky above is blue with fluffy clouds. The drama of reshaping cloud patterns explodes my imagination into my life of clouds. New adventures are created with each changing shape.

 Then I roll over and peer down into my imaginary world of grass. I see the tiny insects and imagine myself at their size marching through the jungle of plants, meeting other creatures different than me, introducing myself and sharing ideas together, joining forces and creating partnerships.  Oh the stories I could tell you!

I shift in my seat, reaching for the book resting beside me. As I immerse myself in its pages, a new adventure unfolds before me. With each sip of lemonade from my chilled glass, I delve deeper into the unknown world crafted by the author. Through vivid descriptions and my own imagination, I envision the characters' appearances, emotions, and the intricate details of the world they live in.

 Ahh, the lazy days of summer. Days where our imagination can roam freely with the stimulation and prompts surrounding us in nature. Rather than huddled up in our homes with closed windows, closed shades and dim lights – I am out in nature, everything exposed to sunlight, out in fresh air, bugs (I am from Minnesota), and the smell of green! Yes, the smell of green. Can’t you smell it?! My imagination is on fire!


 So let me tell you about another elevator and context for imagination. This imagination is not only fun, explorative and creative – it also awakens our ability to hear our own inner wisdom known as intuition. Our inner voice begins to give us messages that we can hear. This is the process of working with SoulCollage®.

SoulCollage® is a psycho-spiritual self-reflective creative process to access your inner knowing for growth and personal development.

Explore the depths of your unique creative process by delving into the transformative practice of SoulCollage®. Through this intuitive and soulful journey, you can uncover hidden insights and wisdom that have the power to illuminate and influence many aspects of your life.

Explore my workshops that introduce the SoulCollage® experience – “Sneak Peak of SoulCollage®”, the workshops that dive deeper into the SoulCollage® deck and their suits – “Exploring the Suits of the SoulCollage® Deck”. If you complete these workshops you will be well on your way to using SoulCollage® as your spiritual intuitive practice.

Once you have established a few cards in your deck you can join other workshops that use the cards for readings to explore topics like Divorce, Chronic Illness and Embracing Self, Others and those Unlike Me 3-part Series and more to come.

Hope to see you in a workshop soon!
