Location
The Facilitator Training will be held in a beautiful 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.
All bodies, from all backgrounds, regardless of ethnicity, gender, race or sexual orientation are welcome!
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.
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.
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.
“Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

Content of this Facilitator Training
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 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.
Who Attends a Facilitator Training?
Facilitators of 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 a few cards and participate in shared activities in small groups that will deepen your own inner journey with your personal deck, and increase your capacity to wear two hats, that of the Facilitator and of the Participant.
How to Prepare
You don’t need any special degrees or credentials to take this Training. Just a few basic prerequisites, your own experience with creating and working with your own SoulCollage® cards and enthusiasm for sharing the SoulCollage® process with others.
