What is Inspired CollageTM?

Inspired CollageTM is a simple practice inspired by Christian counseling, Scripture, journaling, meditation, love of beauty and art. It is a kaleidoscopic blend of practices which emerged from the search for tools that bring individual healing. Through the power of images and self discovery the longing for a deeper connection is made with God, yourself and others.

The Workshop

Each workshop begins with a presentation highlighting the workshop theme and the process of collage making. Participants first chose a scripture and then begin the search for images. (Thousands of images will be provided.) Collaging together becomes an intuitive imaginative process and can become a visual journal of your life, assisting you in making deeper connections. Participants will find themselves gravitating toward images that have a personal meaning for them. Through a process of discovery and revelation, adding and subtracting, a larger story, an illuminated image emerges from the layers.

At the end of the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to share their collage cards and their experience. They will take home a uniquely crafted card and a creative practice that can be used for individual Scripture meditation and continued growth.

"The Christian is the really free man – he is free to have imagination. This too is our heritage. The Christian is the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars. Imagination should not fly away from the truth but fly upon the truth." (Francis Schaeffer, "Art and the Bible")

Ancient Art of Christian Biblical Meditation:

Each participant will receive an Inspired CollageTM Journal sheet and instruction regarding continued journaling and a meditation practice to take home with them.

From ancient times Christians cultivated a practice of meditating. During the workshop you will learn 4 movements of Christian meditation. (Reading, Reflecting, Responding and Resting).
