Walking with an Archetype for a while....
Who is she? This imaginal Waterbearer? She is one who holds life, bears life, and allows life to flow through her. Tending to her within us is then, surely sacred work.
Its a core part of the ethos of The Soul Shed, that gathering in creative community is a way that we can offer this kind of tending to one another, and to ourselves, and then by extension, back into our lives.
Finding your personal connection with a creative seed that really speaks to your soul, and then allowing it to grow, is a powerful way to come to be more present to the imaginal and the ways it can can touch your life.
You and me and Rumi and light in the darkness.
‘There is a field and I will meet you there’.
Call to let us know you arrived, Rumi, and that we can visit
beyond the mind, to the heart of becoming,
that is always Becoming.
Call to let us know you arrived, Rumi, and that we can visit.
I want to lie in that green grass,
that is always becoming.
Imagination will make a Human of you.
The imagination is both the field and the bridge in SoulCollage®. It is the field because every card, whichever realm it comes from, arises through the imagination. The more we ground and connect with ourselves as three-centred beings, the deeper the resonances and alignments we find with the imagery that calls to us. It’s as though the meaning-making of the imagination feels held within our self-containment. It is also the bridge, connecting the different layers of our experience, psychological, relational, somatic, and spiritual, allowing them to communicate symbolically through imagery. In this sense, SoulCollage® doesn’t just use imagination as a creative tool; it invites us into relationship with the imaginal realm itself.
Imagination gets a workout! Through this journey, SoulCollage® trains your imagination to become a trusted inner organ of perception — not for art’s sake alone, but as a faculty for guidance, healing, and connection with yourself and others….
