My name is Karen Anne and I'm a trained SoulCollage® facilitator who is honored to have been trained by Seena B. Frost, the woman who created and developed SoulCollage® and wrote the book by the same name. Sharing the process in workshops and circles lets me combine the artist, teacher and healing facilitator aspects of myself and fills me with happiness and a deep satisfaction. I was drawn to SoulCollage® because it provides a wonderfully satisfying way for everyone who participates to use their intuition and creativity to tap into their innate wisdom. I have always looked at my own artwork, which includes drawing, sculpture, and abstract watercolor collage, as self-portraits of sorts - and I've learned about myself through studying them. And so it is with SoulCollage® - but in a much easier way. The well of wisdom we each have bubbles up to the surface of the cards we create with an ease and exactness that's uncanny! (Maybe because it's also just so much fun to make the cards!) Like so many in SoulCollage®, my life is a quest to find answers.
Years ago I woke up suddenly from a dream. I remember only that a voice had spoken to me:"She had remembered and she had returned."Since then, my life has been a journey to find the meaning in that message. To discover what I had forgotten, and to find my way back. To the place where my Soul lives, and to find myself: Home. SoulCollage® has played an important part in helping my find my way. Becoming a trained facilitator has allowed me to help others find their way home, too, and has filled me with joy and gratitude.
In addition to being an artist and SoulCollage® facilitator, I am a Reiki practitioner and have completed Level III Teacher/Master Training. I have taught Visual Arts (4k-8th) at a private school, am a retired Naval Officer (I was a drug and alcohol counselor and worked at the national level for the Navy's drug and alcohol programs), and, most recently, was Curator of Visual Resources at a small private college in central Pennsylvania.
I have been happily married for 34 years and am the proud mama of two beautiful young women and one very mellow and sweet black Labradoodle named Jake.
