Location
Scenic Rural Setting
The Facilitator Training will be held in a peaceful retreat setting at the Genesis Spiritual Life and Conference Center in Westfield, Massachusetts. Participants will leave prepared to share the powerful method of SoulCollage® with others who are longing to unlock their inner wisdom and intuition.
Set on nineteen scenic wooded acres in Westfield, Genesis is very close to Springfield, Massachusetts. Located only ten minutes off the Massachusetts Turnpike, it is forty minutes from Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Connecticut, and one hour, fifty minutes from Logan Airport in Boston.
“The Genesis Center is a perfect location in nature, surrounded by quiet, affording a change of pace for mindful breaks throughout the training. ”
The Genesis Spiritual Life and Conference Center (founded in 1976) offers hospitality and inclusiveness to people of all backgrounds, faiths, cultures, and spiritual paths. They are committed to hosting programs that foster holistic integration of body, mind and spirit. All rooms at Genesis are private with sink and mirror, although you will share a bathroom with a few others.
Genesis acknowledges the Waranoak Native Americans of the Algonquin Nation, who were the original custodians of the land in the sixteenth century. Genesis honors the Waranoak descendants still among us, and all Native Americans whose history is often forgotten and erased from modern American culture.
The grounds at Genesis offer peace and tranquility, an arboretum of wooded walks with trees over a hundred years old, a labyrinth, along with comfortable lodging and meals prepared on site.

“Being in person for this training made all the difference. We were able to help each other find images, break bread with one another, bond during nightly card-making, lean on one another with honesty and vulnerability, and erupt into laughter!”
How to Prepare
You don’t need any special degrees or credentials to take this Training. However, all participants must meet five prerequisites before attending. Please click below to view the list of five prerequisites on the World of SoulCollage® platform. Additional cost for the online “Introduction to SoulCollage®” required class applies.
If you need clarification about the prerequisites before you pay your registration deposit, please click here to sign up for a free introductory Zoom, and I will reach out to you to set up a mutually convenient time to meet.
If you decide to sign up for this Training, please schedule time to complete these prerequisites. I have discovered that participants who have the most fulfilling experience at a Training arrive with a good working knowledge of the SoulCollage® method, supported by their own personal practice of making cards and giving each card a voice.
If you want to receive the greatest return on your investment of time, money and energy, I invite you to gain as much practical and personal experience with your cards as you can. I would be happy to help you find ways to build your own SoulCollage® deck and practice with others - online or in-person, before the Training starts. Email me!
All bodies, from all backgrounds, regardless of ethnicity, gender, race or sexual orientation are welcome!
“I have so much admiration for Isabel’s wisdom and insights, and especially for the respect she gives to each participant, and to the group as a whole. She leads by example, with care and attention to creating the space and demonstrating the tenants of SoulCollage®.”
Training Schedule
Arrival: Wednesday, May 14, 2025 at 4pm.
Check in begins at 4pm with dinner at 6pm. Training begins promptly at 7pm.
Departure: Sunday, May 18, 2025 at 1pm.
Check-out of rooms after breakfast. Closing ceremonies from 9 to 1pm, including lunch.
Please Note: While this Training is designed to be deeply nourishing, it is not a retreat. It is fast-paced, and we cover a lot of valuable territory in a relatively short period of time. The Training has been condensed to make it as affordable as possible, so every minute in sessions is essential.
Specifically, the Training comprises twenty-four hours of intensive instruction/ participation and includes some evening sessions. You must be on time and attend all sessions to receive your Certificate of Completion.
Please arrive well rested and prepared to learn. While SoulCollage® is very therapeutic, it is not therapy. This is a professional training to facilitate SoulCollage® for others and not a container for personal therapy or support. In the interest of your own self-care, you may want to build in some time after the Training for additional processing, integration, and rest. You are welcome to schedule an extra night at Genesis before or after the Training!
What to expect at this Training
Three Card Reading and Journaling
By participating in this Training you will develop the skills needed to share the SoulCollage® process with others. You will learn how to prepare and offer a variety of workshops, create brave space to empower your participants, support others in their SoulCollage® readings, as well as how to promote your workshops and adapt them to the needs of different audiences/clientele.
You will explore business and ethical considerations, find out how to access the rich archive of information available to Facilitators on the new World of SoulCollage® (WOSC) platform, and how to advertise your workshops to an international audience. You will network with like-minded people in-person and leave the Training with the clarity, competence and inspiration to become part of a global community of over 5,000 Facilitators serving in the world at this time of great need.
Once you’ve completed the Training you will receive a certificate entitling you to call yourself a SoulCollage® Facilitator, and to use the SoulCollage® trademark and logo in the work you do with adult groups and individuals, as long as you do so accordance with the Principles of SoulCollage® and within your scope of practice.
“Isabel is absolutely amazing. Her calm presence and depth of intellectual and healing knowledge was brilliant. I have never experienced theoretical, experiential, and self-care understanding and application integrated in this way.”
Who Attends a Facilitator Training?
Participants in this transformative process come from many backgrounds and fields including teachers and other educators, social workers, art therapists, yoga instructors, mindfulness meditation teachers, writers, learning specialists, occupational therapists, coaches, professionals who work with survivors of domestic abuse, cancer, addiction and other traumas, those who volunteer with senior citizens, nurses, dream group leaders, scout leaders, and psychotherapists.
Other individuals are attracted to teaching and sharing this method because it builds connection to community in simple, playful and deeply profound ways. There is no right or wrong way to create SoulCollage® cards, and this freedom unlocks the creativity of “non-artists.” The direct experiential access to intuition, insight and personal transformation goes beyond words and into the realm of the imagery and dreams. Although this is not a SoulCollage® retreat, this Training will invite you to create cards and participate in shared activities in small groups that will deepen your own inner journey with your personal deck of SoulCollage® cards, and increase your capacity to wear two hats, that of the Facilitator and of the Participant.
Cancellations and Refunds
Last day to cancel for a refund (less non-refundable $250 deposit and administrative fees) is April 2, 2024. After that, no refund is given if you fail to attend or if you leave the event early.
We suggest that you consider purchasing travel insurance if you are concerned about unforeseen circumstances. If you are traveling more than 100 miles from home, travel insurance companies can provide insurance for prepaid, non-refundable expenses if you cancel due to a covered reason.
COVID Guidelines
As you know, COVID-19 is still present and easily transmissible. Genesis continues to follow strict safety and sanitizing protocols consistent with the CDC requirements and Massachusetts state guidelines.
Age Requirement
SoulCollage® was originally designed and evolved as an adult activity. Unless you are a licensed clinician or teacher working with children in schools or are under the direct supervision of teachers working within schools, SoulCollage® Facilitators are advised not to work with collage and emotional expression with children who are not their own children.
If, on the other hand, you are a licensed clinician or teacher of younger children, pre-adolescents, or teens, we encourage you to pursue the Certificate as a SoulCollage® Facilitator — as long as you abide by the ethical standards of both SoulCollage® and your primary professional licensure. The world needs young people who are empowered by self-discovery and encouraged to become their most authentic selves!
Disclaimers
Isabel reserves the right to cancel any Training for any reason. In the event of such cancellation, Isabel will send registrants a full refund of all monies paid within seven days of notification of cancellation, and accepts no additional liability for travel costs or other costs incurred.
Isabel is not liable should anyone contract Covid-19 during this Training; all necessary precautions will be taken to provide a safe environment as per the state health measures required at that time. All attendees will be required to sign a waiver agreeing not to attend the training sessions if they are ill, and to follow any safety measures required by the venue. Please take good care of yourselves before and during the Training.
