Tea-Time: Your Soul in Images: A Gentle Start to SoulCollage®
Welcome to Our Summer Tea-Time Series!
-with Vatikah Rosemary Lohndorf
Join us this summer for a gentle yet stirring series of conversations and explorations designed especially for mid-life and older adults. Each Tea-Time gathering will offer a unique topic—engaging the questions, challenges, and joys that come with this season of life. Together, we’ll open creative channels, learn more about ourselves, and acquire fresh insights and skills to nourish our evolving paths.
Learn about the amazing Soul Collage® process and create your first of many Soul Collage cards.
SoulCollage® is a creative and transformative process in which you create a personal deck of collaged cards. Cards are created by cutting and pasting magazine or other copyright-free images together to represent one energy or concept per card. The deck has four suits made with cards symbolizing the multiple facets that make up all the parts of ourselves. The suits include:
your archetypes,
your spirit animals that align with your chakras,
your community and
your inner committee.
In this introduction you will leave class with your first card finished and an overview of what SoulCollage is, what the four suits are, and what power it can bring to your creative and spiritual side!

Tea-Time: Sage-ing® Poetry Workshop
Welcome to Our Summer Tea-Time Series
-with Vatikah Rosemary Lohndorf
Join us this summer for a gentle yet stirring series of conversations and explorations designed especially for mid-life and older adults. Each Tea-Time gathering will offer a unique topic—engaging the questions, challenges, and joys that come with this season of life. Together, we’ll open creative channels, learn more about ourselves, and acquire fresh insights and skills to nourish our evolving paths.
In this teatime, we will start off with a simple poetry-writing pattern and expand from that into using sage-ing poetry as springboards for our creativity.
The techniques we use help everyone feel successful at writing poetry. Using our five senses, we'll add details to the writing. We’ll share our writings together and then complete the workshop with a shared writing experience.

Creative Sage-ing with Journaling and SoulCollage®
This three-part creative journey into eldering takes place Wednesday, July 23, 30 & August 6
-with Vatikah Rosemary Lohndorf
What is SoulCollage®?
SoulCollage® is an intuitive, accessible art form in which participants create personal collaged cards using images to represent different facets of the self. Cards are grouped into four suits—Archetypes, Spirit Animals, Community, and the Inner Committee—allowing for ongoing discovery and dialogue with your own soul's landscape.
This three-part series invites you to engage with your journey into elderhood—gently, playfully, and meaningfully.
Combining deep spiritual reflection with creative tools, this course guides participants through personal storytelling, image-making, and contemplative inquiry. Each session explores a core theme in the Sage-ing process and supports it with both writing and SoulCollage® practices that bring the wisdom of aging into full, embodied expression.
