The process begins
by each member of the group picking 3 cards from the Deborah Koff-Chapin Soul Card deck. These cards are a gestalt of images. There is no accompanying book from which to read and gather an interpretation. The individual privately gleans their own interpretation. Through quotations and framing exercises the cards are brought into perspective within the context of each individual's life experience.
The second part of the process is movement. Laura will prepare and guide participants into a free-form experience of movement. This segment begins with the sensory awareness warm-up from the E-Motion® Mind/Body fitness video program. Participants are then invited to dance the feelings or insights which arise from viewing their cards. The music in the background is one of the five rhythms; Ms. Sachs guides one into their body and expression. One does not need to be a dancer or even consider themselves "a mover" to participate; this is not intended to be an aerobic workout.
After this freeing movement experience each individual creates a collage. The collage is made from magazines, cards, and/or fabric fashioned with or without words. There is no talking during this artful expression. This serves to deepen the expression. We all tend to be outward in groups; the shared quiet encourages a deeper expression to emerge. It is as if we are all used to working with words, facial expressions, tonality - through movement and artistic expression each person has an opportunity to cultivate their inner landscape in a new way. Insight, exhilaration and freedom can be the outcome. The process ends with sharing. A safe space is created to share whatever feelings and insights arise. In small groups it is possible to comment on each other's cards or collage.

One of my most recent participants had this to say:
"Laura Sach's workshop on the 'Authentic Self' was an inspirational self-discovery and a wonderful tool for personal growth. I gained a deeper inner understanding.
Laura's workshop incorporated soul cards, movement and collage art all culminating in guiding us to recognize, acknowledge and embrace the our past, present and future 'Selves'."

"After experiencing two of Laura Sach's incredible workshops, I was most impressed with how she integrates the balancing of body, mind and spirit.
Her combination of body movement and creative process creates quite a cathartic experience! She creates a safe, nurturing, and creativeenvironment for those experiencing her energic work. The entire process was empowering, envigorating and a true testimonial to honoring the creative flow of energy through our bodies."
