About the 90-Min Session

Join Catherine as we explore a number of ways to use pen, paint, color, line and shape with our SoulCollage® cards!

While your "success" with SoulCollage® is not dependent on being artistic, there are many who come to SoulCollage® from their creative practice and find it to be a beautiful and empowering exploration into the Soul. 

ABOUT SoulCollage®
SoulCollage® is an easy, non-threatening process which allows you to access your inner wisdom and create art at the same time.  Catherine loves creating a sacred space around the class and does this by incorporating poetry and music into her workshops.  She believes that in this fast-paced world the practice of SoulCollage® is a perfect way to slow down and spend time getting to know yourself. SoulCollage® can also be a form of visual meditation, and is used in many different settings.

Embellishments

In SoulCollage® we often speak of adding embellishments to our cards using magazine images, but what if we can use up some of our creative paper and snippets for embellishing our cards? Catherine will show us how.

Meet LifeAlchemist, Kiala Givehand

Kiala Givehand, Creator of The LifeAlchemy Academy™
Hello Beautiful Creative You!
I'm happy you're here. I'm Kiala Givehand, a multi-passionate intuitive & intentional creative. I walk through the world as a LifeAlchemist™ for creative, heart-centered, soul-filled women who want to change the world by shining their light more fully and more brightly. I call myself a LifeAlchemist™ because I help women bring together all the parts of themselves to create a life they love. As an Alchemist, I support women through creative and spiritual awakenings and guide them towards empowerment.

As an artist, I make (and sometimes sell) handmade journals using a mix of mediums. I host workshops, retreats and online classes where I get to teach the things that nourish my soul -- bookbinding, journaling, printmaking, creative writing, astrology, Tarot, Human Design, and self-discovery through transformational tools and content.
For almost 20 years, I taught English, Language Arts, and Creative Writing at every educational level, while simultaneously traveling the U.S. delivering workshops and presentations to educators. While I no longer travel to work with teachers, I now enjoy working one-on-one and in small groups with students, teachers, artists, writers, and creative entrepreneurs. I do this work because I love helping women find the thing that fills them with joy and watching them pursue it without regrets or apologies.

I cherish every single day and treat life as one amazing adventure. I play with paint and watercolor, fold paper into books, write poetry, short fiction, & creative non-fiction, and guide women through sacred remembering of who they truly are. But always, every single day, I journal and do something that I feel is creative. Oh!! And did I mention that I'm the proud owner of a fabulous collection of fountain pens? (I know. Geek alert!)
​
Join me in The LifeAlchemy Academy™ and let's create something beautiful, TODAY!!
