Frequently Asked Questions When You Start with SoulCollage®

What materials do I need?

To get started with SoulCollage® you need images, cardboard, glue, scissors, and card sleeves. You can easily start with the SoulCollage® starter kit, which includes all the necessary materials.

How big is a card?

SoulCollage® cards are made in a format derived from the golden ratio (5 x 8 inches, approximately 12.7 x 20.4 cm). This format is often perceived as pleasant and balanced, as the proportions feel natural to the eye.

The golden ratio is common in nature and art and is associated with harmony and balance. Working with this format automatically creates a peaceful foundation on which you can intuitively create, and your image will be shown to its best advantage.

Can I do it alone?

Yes, SoulCollage® is very suitable for working independently. With clear instructions, such as the free mini workshop SoulCollage®, you can learn step-by-step how to create and use cards for self-insight.

Do I need to be able to draw?

No. SoulCollage® doesn't require any artistic skills. It's not about "making something beautiful," but about giving meaning to images. People who don't consider themselves creative often find this way of working accessible and liberating.

Where do I start?

You can best start with the free mini workshop and possibly the SoulCollage® starter kit for the basic materials. You can get started immediately, without preparation or prior knowledge. If you want to get started right away and gain knowledge and apply it in practice, then the extensive introduction workshop is a great starting point.
