Collage Workshops

Come take an illuminating adventure into collaging. Where found images, chosen with the help of your intuition, play together and are reformed into new worlds and meaning.

  • Soul Collage Workshop

    Come explore the Soul Collage Method by creating collages on 5 × 8 inch card stock. Utilizing images that “call to you”, you will bring to life this process that sheds light and perspective on the many aspects of your inner world. Soul Collaging is easy and fun to do. You will have the opportunity to make as many cards as the time allows.

    This class we will be making cards for our Community Suit. This suit represents our mentors, loved ones, allies and teachers, (both sentient and non sentient) who we have come to rely on for connection, support and wisdom. Making these cards allows us to celebrate them, and access their guidance during readings with your deck.

    All supplies and imagery provided. Beginners to seasoned artists can enjoy this process.

    For ages 15 and up.

    Sunday May 17th/2026 1 - 5pm $59 Light refreshments will be served. Some Soul Collage books and supplies will also be available to purchase if you wish to deepen your exploration.

  • Vision Board Workshop

    Vision Boarding is a great way to focus your intentions and support your actions, by anchoring visually what you are working to achieve. Vision boards can be made at the start of a new year or season, or a fresh life chapter. Often done to support a set of life goals, vision boards can also be made for singular projects with unique parameters or themes that you may be drawn to explore and make flourish.

    This workshop we will be focusing on a Summer themed vision board. Summer is a great time to anchor into our lives those feelings of freedom and joy, sun drenched days that help us relax and tune into our lives that thrive with a bit less structure. With a break from routine we often gain meaningful insights into aspects we wish to activate year round. You can create one large vision board, or a number of smaller ones (one for each aspect if you wish).

    Please let me know your themes before arriving so I can source specific imagery options for you. Feel free to bring any unique imagery from home that you may wish to include in your vision boards.

    Ages 14 and up.

    Sunday June 21st/2026 1 - 4pm $39 all supplies provided. Light refreshments will be served.

 Travelling Art Classes

I love to travel and teach. If you are interested in hosting me for a collage or mandala workshop in your community, please reach out to me. I am particularly open to teaching anywhere on Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, as well as the Lower mainland. Overseas is an option, as I visit England and Germany, and can visit countries in Europe as well.

Let’s dream up a wonderful event together.
