This workshop is facilitated by a registered art therapist and a board-certified music therapist who will be guiding participants through a variety of expressive wellness tools to support healing from grief. Whether you're new SoulCollage® or already have a deck of your own, this creative workshop will inspire reflection & respect for the community and the connections in your life. The Community Suit in SoulCollage® honors the connections that have influenced our lives; family and ancestors, friends, teachers, healers, and loved ones, beloved pets, meaningful groups, even public or historical figures that deeply inspire or challenge you. Each presence carries a unique energy, a role in your personal narrative, and a message to share. By recognizing and honoring these influences, you deepen your understanding of who you are, and how your life has been shaped through relationship and connection.SoulCollage® is a powerful process to support grief work, it uses the power of collaged images to assist us in expressing and discovering our own innate answers, gifts, and our helpers that travel with us on our grief journey as we move towards healing and understanding. This intuitive process offers a gentle, image-based approach that allows individuals to express emotions that often cannot be captured with words. Through creating personal cards, guided reflection, and witnessing within community, participants discover resources for meaning-making, continuing bonds, resilience, and healing.

As helping professionals, we often spend much of our time tending to the needs and emotions of others. While this work can be deeply meaningful, the ongoing emotional demands of caring for and supporting the needs of others can contribute to chronic stress, overwhelm, and compassion fatigue. Developing intentional practices that support our own well-being is essential to sustaining ourselves in this meaningful work.
This workshop is an interactive, experiential workshop facilitated by a registered art therapist and a board-certified music therapist, that invites participants to explore creative expression as a pathway toward self-awareness, emotional regulation, and restoration. Participants are offered an opportunity to reconnect with curiosity, self-compassion, play, and different methods of creative expression. No previous experience with art or music is required. Participants will leave with practical creative self-care strategies that can be adapted to their individual needs and used to support their work with clients.
