Be Inspired and Nourished by SoulCollage®

Описание: This is a video introduction to the process of SoulCollage® developed by Seena B. Frost. Visit the http://bit.ly/SoulCollageWebsite for a wealth of information for both professionals and people using SoulCollage® for their personal transformation and contentment with life.

My name is Mariabruna Sirabella, M.S., LMFT, and I am the Senior Trainer of SoulCollage® Facilitators throughout the world and the Translations Coordinator for SoulCollage Inc. I created this video to share my experience of and enthusiasm for this healing modality and tool.

SoulCollage® is the most empowering method of self exploration and of integration of inner parts and insights I have ever encountered in my personal journey and professionally. I have the privilege of witnessing its transformative and grounding gifts day after day in my work, and I receive them myself daily from reading my deck and giving voice to my cards.

Making the cards is another blessing in itself because it offers such an opportunity to step out of time and and be in the rich cauldron that is play. I tell my clients and those who attend my groups that making cards is like gathering the ingredients for cooking a gourmet meal, giving them voice is doing the actual cooking, but reading them! That is when we get to eat and be nourished by our own creative work. And there is no end to this process, we can access it over and over again, it evolves with us and never stops to give back.

I have been teaching the Four Suits since 1996, when I first met Seena Frost and embraced the method now known as SoulCollage®. I co-facilitate in-depth workshops and retreats and teach internationally. My art, writings and teachings encourage creative expression to nurture self-knowledge, evolution, freedom and joy -- knowing that any small personal step contributes to the paradigm shift that affects us all.

I use SoulCollage® individually and in group with clients as an adjunct to other clinical approaches, I also offer in-depth personal explorations and/or mentoring sessions to SoulCollage® beginners and veterans (in person, by phone or skype). Supervision consultations and Continuing Education Units are available for those who are using this method in clinical settings. The calendar for introductory workshops, group facilitation, in-depth workshops, trainings and retreats is available on my website. My SoulCollage® deck continues to 'take me places', inviting new explorations and themes, which I eventually turn into workshops or seminars. Some examples are the cards I started for Yogasanas (postures) and my own BodYnvocations as a personal exploration on movement; curriculums about managing chronic pain, overcoming domestic violence, and deepening our relationship with Animus and Anima. I have translated the Facilitator Manual into Italian to use in the Trainings I offer in my mother tongue, and I am translating more of Seena's materials into that language. I accept invitations to travel for facilitating a workshop, a training or a retreat, for which I can offer CEUs to MFTs and LCSWs in the state of California.

In my life I have been blessed with a richness of culture and experiences. The U.S. is my third home, after Italy and India. In Italy I grew up, learned about friendship, and during my studies in Theater Anthropology I met my passion for Eastern and Indigenous practices and traditions. They led me to India where I witnessed individual and community healing take place through trance and dance, and indulged my deep love for traveling. When I moved to the US in 1987, I started exploring my own personal healing and ways to be of service to others. This led to more inner and outer journeys and to teaching: Ashtanga Yoga, workshops, SoulCollage® - in private settings and in institutions such as JFK University where I am Adjunct Faculty. Since 1996 I have been in private practice as a psychotherapist in Watsonville, CA, where I also offer shamanic drumming sessions. Besides continuing to grow my SoulCollage® deck, I paint and sculpt clay.
