The Gathering “SoulCollage®: Encountering our inner world through images”

Soul Collage Gathering One Spirit Workshop

Dates: Thursday, April 15, 2021, 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST
Available by: Join by Videoconference Only (learn more about videoconference)
Suggested Love Offering: $ 10.00

Hosted by Rev. Darby Christopher and Rev. Dr. Sushmita Mukherjee

SoulCollage® is a powerfully intuitive, yet deceptively simple technique - that brings together art, the psyche (Greek word for “soul”) and our conscious minds. Because it involves cutting out and collaging pre-existing images, this form of creative expression is accessible to everyone - no matter how creatively challenged one might believe oneself to be!

In this gathering, we will share a brief overview of the SoulCollage® process, including how to make a card, how to read it, and how a deck of one’s SoulCollage® cards can be used for personalized divination. 

We will then engage with one of four pre-made SoulCollage® cards, and learn how to allow the card “to speak in its own voice.” We will then share in community what the cards shared with each participant - appreciating once again how the same images often speak so differently to each one of us!

Rev. Dr. Sushmita Mukherjee is an ordained interspiritual minister, spiritual counselor and a Dean at the Seminary Program at One Spirit. Trained as a biophysicist and cell biologist in India and in the United States, she works as an Associate Professor of Research at Weill Cornell Medical College, New York City. Her scientific work focuses on high-resolution microscopy and image analysis, and their applications in cutting edge biomedical research. She is thus very finely attuned to the nuances of images, and the stories images can tell. Sushmita’s soul-work is that of psychospiritual alchemy, carried out within a Jungian/Archetypal vessel. This Work is deeply influenced by the teachings of Carl Jung, James Hillman and Joseph Campbell. Sushmita sees images that arise from the depths of our souls (in the form of dreams, fantasies, impulses and ideas), as carriers of potent symbols that can transcend apparent dualities. Images, for her, are living psychic entities which have the power to reweave the torn fabric of our souls, thus bringing about a profound wholeness. Sushmita loves to write, to visualize, to teach and to create art that lives at the interface of Science and Soul.
