A SoulCollage® Path Community

Description
Walking Each Other Home: A SoulCollage® Path Community offers a shared, sustained, supportive process for deepening the interrelationships of your cards, your daily life, and your soul's callings in this year's Spring-to-Summer bridge time.
Process
Each session will begin with a consultation from your cards
Where are you Now?
Where is your soul Calling you?
Entering the Path
You'll then listen to your intuition to make a new card that offers a Path connecting these two.
Each session will offer tools to explore participants' Now / Path / Calling triads.
One Step
The next time we meet, the previous session's Path card becomes the Now card. You will choose a new Calling card and make another Path card, following your intuition again. By increments, something is showing up.
Practice
This process is intended to be supportive - we will offer one another kind witness as we navigate accountability, curiosity, hope, hopelessness, surprise, disappointment, joy, frustration, and probably 100,000 other states. It is also likely to feel a bit relentless, challenging long-held patterns of hiding, escaping, evading, comparing, wishing, and giving up.
Support
Each participant will receive a 15-20 minute individual phone consultation with the facilitator, if desired.
To keep fueling the process of Walking Each Other Home between community sessions, participants will be encouraged to design their own individual daily check-in ritual through dream-work, writing, movement, visual journaling, photography, etc.
Framework
We will draw from the Four Immeasurables of Buddhist practice as a resource for grounding and perspective:
May all beings possess happiness and the inner causes of happiness
May all beings be free from sorrow and the inner causes of sorrow
May all beings remain undivided from the sacred joy that is free from sorrow
May all beings come to rest in the great equanimity that is beyond attachment and aversion to "friends," "enemies," and "strangers"

Prerequisites:
By the beginning of our first session, participants must have their own SoulCollage® decks with a minimum of 12 cards and a working understanding of the Suits.
Group Size:
This course is limited to 16 participants.
Materials:
- Card stock/mat board/cereal boxes/other packaging, cut to a consistent size. 5x8" is a standard SoulCollage® size. You can also choose another size that feels good in your hands and gives you room to collage elements together. You'll need about 10 pieces, maybe more, maybe less.
- Glue stick
- Scissors with a good tip
- Old magazines and books for collaging
- You may want to look through the photographs on your phone / computer, and either print them yourself or have them printed in SoulCollage®-friendly 5x7" format.
- You may be drawn to create cards that incorporate stitching, textiles, painting, drawing, and other colored materials. All of this is most welcome. Let your intuition guide you.
- You may need additional materials for your individual daily ritual
- A notebook, loose paper, and a pen
- If you like, you can buy clear plastic sleeves for your cards. This makes them easier to shuffle and protects them. The SoulCollage® website offers these and other prepackaged supplies for making cards.
- If you like, you can prepare backing papers for your cards, to unify them as a deck and/or to identify your Suits. For supply purposes this means you might like to have some decorative / wrapping papers cut to the same size as your cards.
Tech Requirements:
You'll need access to a device with a webcam and fast internet to participate.
You'll also need to make sure you have the most recent version of Zoom downloaded on your device.
