In this Tarot-inspired SoulCollage® workshop, we are going to blend the Tarot’s archetypal structure focusing on the 22 Major Arcana as inspiration, and blend it with SoulCollage's intuitive card-making process. Using the Tarot as the prompt, we will each examine how archetypes are showing up in our lives right now, and then through intuitive image work, create a collage self-portrait inspired by your Soul’s Journey.

This workshop is designed to be open to all—the Tarot-curious and the long time practitioner; SoulCollage first-timers, and veterans alike. This exploration will play in a new realm between the cards, and you will be amazed at what you unearth about yourself, where you might see growth, and perhaps feel empowered to take inspired action.

In this two-hour workshop, you will delight in a wide variety of supplied images that allow you to intuitively create your own one-of-a-kind collaged cards. Each card, through a series of guided questions from your facilitator, will illuminate your own personal wisdom, highlight parts of yourself that may lay in shadow, and help you to tap into your inner guide(s). Much like an oracle or tarot card can help provide guidance, the cards you create become a personal oracle card, rich in imagery that speaks directly to you, and ONLY you, as you discover your own rich personal inner symbolism. These cards can be consulted whenever you need insight, a check-in with yourself, or a reminder of the power of your own inner wisdom.

This workshop will be led by artist and SoulCollage® facilitator Somsara Rielly, a collage artist, tarot reader, graphic designer, lifelong seeker and intuitive.

The idea for creating collaged cards and consulting them for self-discovery came from Jungian therapist Seena B. Frost, M.A., M.Div. (1932-2016) during her psychotherapy groups in the late 1980s. It was there that her experiences revealed the transformational possibilities of the method and SoulCollage® was officially born. Over 40 years later, SoulCollage® has become a global community with over 6,000 trained Facilitators sharing the process in 63 countries.

Meet our Facilitator, Somsara Rielly:

“When art, design, symbolism, and inner work all overlap, it touches on something deeper that creates more beautiful and authentic storytelling.”

Somsara Rielly is a native Angeleno with 25 years of design experience working for studios and clients around the world. She has worked with the likes of Universal Studios, Sony Pictures, the Los Angeles Times, Wynn Resorts, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, and many more. In her own art, she pulls from personal narrative, as well as a lifelong collection of vintage paper and ephemera, inviting the onlooker to linger on and re-contextualize the familiar. Her collage and mixed-media work weaves in layers of interpretation, hidden messages, and plays with the seemingly random connections of everyday life. Propelled by a daily meditation practice and keen interest in mysticism, Somsara has a deep desire to illuminate the profound inner world that exists in each of us. She offers complete identity and branding services to clients both big and small, focusing on identity with intention and branding with a soul, helping clients to integrate authentic personal purpose into their professional identity both spiritually and visually.
