Drawing mandalas started many years ago, while living in Vancouver and working at a Banyan Books. I was seeing beautiful spiritual and cosmic art that inspired me to doodle and then create my own versions that suited my tastes and interests. There was so much art around me that I was marinating in, I couldn’t help but be drawn in. Collaborating with others was also a big part of my journey. It started first with my joining an improvisational singing circle, where I learnt how to create in the moment with other voices, creating wonderful music together. Co-creating mandalas was a natural step to take, that had me offering mandala hang out sessions with friends, where we all worked on the same pieces, and shared the process from start to finish. These were the most fun, and pleasant of hang outs that I enjoyed for years. It was here that I discovered and honed my mandala making process. Learning along the way helped me teach others tips and principles that helped make the process easy and enjoyable. Sharing art making with others, is one of my most rewarding endeavours. I believe we are all creative and deserve to experience the fulfillment from creating for self enjoyment. Helping others free themselves up from the barriers and negative voices inside their heads, and move towards creating is at the core of my mentoring. https://www.closetstocastles.ca/dawns-collaging-journey daily 0.75 2025-05-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847323266-72NWHRF1QFUTULW9BR18/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Dawn's Collaging Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847322796-4GQWUIJZ69E1XBVGEYUY/Large+JPG-20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Dawn's Collaging Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847322171-2YHNWSTDQVJZWG6BB8MJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Dawn's Collaging Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847321447-1IJTU4ZDFUYJYXJTERFM/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0010.jpg Dawn's Collaging Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847320238-2VZQPV9ELGH1BFG69Q8J/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0393.jpg Dawn's Collaging Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847319534-81UFWBJ847PXRDO7CHWE/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0380.jpg Dawn's Collaging Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/f1fb4937-73ab-4fb2-84b9-d65f3e7c57f5/IMG_5714.jpeg Dawn's Collaging Journey The rest they say is history. I jumped in with both feet. I worked at a metaphysical bookstore, so I had access to some wonderful imagery. I started to collect images and began making simple collages by putting images beside each other on the page. These were enjoyable, but were missing the alchemical process that collaging affords, where images transform when “fused” together. I started to venture more deeply by experimenting with having my imagery play together more, and letting whimsical and evocative interactions occur between pieces. I knew I was hitting the sweet spot, when a new narrative would shine forth and my collages felt a little otherworldly. I learnt to position pieces just so, as to help express emotions and story through my work. I learnt to feel when a collage was complete, with my favourites being made from as little as 3 or 4 images, so the meaning shone out with clarity and simplicity. I explored more collaging through making Art Trading Cards, Vision Boarding and playing with a friend making collages together, taking turns adding imagery and having no control over the outcome. A friend from the bookstore heard I was getting into collaging and brought my attention to a book by a psychologist named Seena Frost, who was using collaging in her counselling practise, helping clients find access to their inner intuition through dialoguing Gestalt style, with their collage cards. She developed her process over many years and then shared it, training others and writing a book about it. SoulCollage Evolving was an important read for me, as it helped me understand and give me the tools to explore more deeply what my collages meant. I decided to study with Seena and became qualified to facilitate the SoulCollage Method. I have delved deeply into creating my own deck and helping others do this too, working with people who are grieving, youth and men’s groups as well as others along the way. Other Collage projects that I continue to develop along side Soul Collaging are: vision boards, landscapes and vintage collages made from old children’s books and written excerpts. No other art form has ever captivated more, and I continue to explore and play 30 years later. https://www.closetstocastles.ca/soulcollage-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/00945dd5-30da-4c74-a1aa-73d92736d7fd/IMG_5671.jpg Collage Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/dc417e7f-50a0-451f-9ffe-c28589f85d81/FullSizeRender.jpeg Collage Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/1e719f46-e794-4935-ac27-6156af21c3f0/IMG_5652.jpeg Collage Workshops https://www.closetstocastles.ca/soulcollage-2 daily 0.75 2025-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/00945dd5-30da-4c74-a1aa-73d92736d7fd/IMG_5671.jpg Vision Boarding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/dc417e7f-50a0-451f-9ffe-c28589f85d81/FullSizeRender.jpeg Vision Boarding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/1e719f46-e794-4935-ac27-6156af21c3f0/IMG_5652.jpeg Vision Boarding https://www.closetstocastles.ca/mandalas daily 0.75 2026-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/24a73285-5273-4954-b512-e03b65826f85/IMG_6043.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/8d26fc1c-7d00-40b0-a3e3-98bb0684ac76/IMG_6068.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/1a146134-1fb8-4b26-bc84-8294705427d1/IMG_5995.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/f29d9165-f8cb-4435-be29-99be55a1605c/IMG_6045.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/d6489c17-493d-417b-97b5-9ca95fc1e41d/IMG_6075.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/d400a554-14f1-438e-bac3-3c2748a34bae/IMG_5998.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/40d5b951-b044-4b11-ada7-3461296a87ac/IMG_6050.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/01c326f0-5188-4200-bc77-c763ac755fc4/IMG_6016.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/b5cbd05e-cc6b-4c2c-9fc3-3d7d4e98d060/IMG_6019.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/6c273987-9e21-4db7-acf9-3238927d1fde/IMG_5817.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/d689f478-88f0-4b41-a8b5-de2c32fc0412/IMG_6005.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/fdaf1aeb-d1e1-4a9d-9d92-1e3d731c2646/IMG_5968.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/f578d2af-3fba-4e1d-940a-25e9d6726464/IMG_5925.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/c66d7f07-83f9-470b-b656-fafea4686f4f/IMG_6002.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/9ecfa453-8f1a-4d3a-b80d-f69eef60defa/IMG_5991.jpeg Mandalas https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/017fbbba-1bab-4258-b086-f56d50dbdcfc/IMG_6071.jpeg Mandalas https://www.closetstocastles.ca/writing daily 0.75 2025-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Writing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/63e2a011981e205097809e77/f7f5103d-7c6a-4a4b-a617-b3ef7d562e1c/IMG_6081.jpeg Writing - Make it stand out.
