'Safely held by this hand that holds everything.  Bigger than my mind'  The simplicity of a three line  Haiku poem, and its capacity to capture the essence of a moment, is a wonderful thing. Perhaps there are some moments in your life  that would love a soulcollage®  card and a haiku! SoulCollage®cards are made from our deep connection with imagery, and they always capture the essence of something, and turn it into a 'neter'- an energy we can be in correspondence with. Haiku are short focused Japanese poems that connect the reader intimately with a moment in time and place. There is direct contact to the present moment built into these poems, which can even have the potential to suddenly  wake us up to that capacity in ourselves.  Both SoulCollage® and Haiku are about deepening contact and connection with our life force energy and the world around us. This offering is for new and experienced SoulCollagers  alike. We will explore imagery through our somatic felt sensing, make  and let it really move through us into language and collage that connects our curious minds, open hearts, and instinctual knowing.

Taking Your Book To School® Walkie-talkie Style! Access to me for a full day, 9–5, to move your book closer to school. So, you’ve written a children's book and now you’re trying to get it from your shelf to the classroom and into the hands of children … Now what? You know that schools are the gatekeepers of your target market: children and their families and you know that teachers and school visits should be on your radar. How do you get in, though?

In this live course, I share my insights from my experience as a school librarian and governors’ clerk, into how teachers use children's books in the classroom, what they are looking for in school visits and how to prepare for them. I will be joined by voice coach, Cat Clancy, and confidence coach, Vie Portland.
