I will be attending the Gathering next week, my first experience with Touch Drawing. From my first exposure to the concept it seemed like the ideal vehicle for integrating work after a session. It is so direct, so intimate, and after a powerful experience it would hold the energy without words getting in the way, so my people ( and myself) could process and integrate and carry their healing forward in their lives. My vision for my practice is to one day have an art room adjacent to our building so that clients could take time after a session or even stop in during the week to explore and continue their work. This feels so inspiring.

My experience with soulcards came during a time in which i was doing a lot of meditative altar work. what i found, personally, was that the purpose of an altar and the implementation of the soulcards on my altar was that i was able to create an external, visual representation of both my inner and outer worlds.

i used the archetypal nature of the soulcard images to represent certain states of mind and corresponded them to positions that were indicative of certain specific interpersonal relationships in my active life. it was most effective in giving me a map of sorts of both my subjective mental/emotional/spiritual states AND the friendships, loves and familial dynamics that i was engaged in at the time.

i was so effective that i am attempting to codify the entire process to share with others. it was truly an enlightening, elucidating and therapeutic experience.

I have not yet had the experience of sharing SC or TD within a Shamanistic setting, although this is an area that I am extremely interested in and was hoping that by joining this group I would gather some insight & knowledge for the 'not so distant' future.
