Ongoing Collage Groups
Exploring Transformation Through Art
Ongoing collage groups foster a deep relationship with one's internal truth by awakening creativity, reinvigorating the imagination, and providing insight into yourself and your world. The benefits of participating in an ongoing group is the continued exploration and support that you receive.
- Groups meet once a month to three times a year.
- Small groups of six to ten people promote intimacy and help to build relationships
- Reflection in small groups amplify and accelerate personal transformation
Currently, Karen Stefano is facilitating three ongoing collage groups that meet in Seattle, Washington, Shepherdstown, West Virginia and Sebastopol, California. If you are interested in participating in one of these ongoing groups, please contact Karen at [email protected].
If you would like to begin an ongoing collage group in your area, contact [email protected].
