Is Facilitator Training Right for Me?
Most become SoulCollage® Facilitators because they are spilling over with enthusiasm about their own SoulCollage® cards and want to share with others the fun, beauty and personal transformation the method has brought them.
No degrees or certifications are necessary to take this training. However, there are a few pre-requisites that participants should meet before attending the Training.
A well-rooted personal practice of SoulCollage® is essential for anyone who wishes to share the method with others as a Facilitator. There are many possible paths to deepen your experience of the SoulCollage® method before becoming a SoulCollage® Facilitator.
We highly recommend taking a variety of workshops offered by Trained SoulCollage® Facilitators before making a decision to enroll in the Training. Many Facilitators list their in-person and online workshops at World of SoulCollage®, the official online community of the SoulCollage Institute.
Another great way to deepen your SoulCollage® practice is with membership in Personal Journey at World of SoulCollage® where you’ll be able to participate in monthly live online workshops and events, and have access to our vast library of recorded workshops. Learn More

Neither. The intention of this Training is to prepare you to become a SoulCollage® Facilitator who is ready to share SoulCollage® with others. Although you will be making cards, sharing cards and doing readings, the Training is not a workshop or a retreat where the focus is on your personal experience.
The emphasis in this SoulCollage® Facilitator Training will be on learning how to facilitate others as you work with your cards. Trainees will have a full schedule of experiential and informational education to facilitate SoulCollage® competently for others.

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.
