January SoulCollage® Salon on Zoom
Envision 2021 With SoulCollage®
Saturday Jan 9th 1pm - 5pm Eastern Time
In this 4-hour zoom salon, we will make a vision board using SoulCollage® cards to create a mosaic of interconnected visions.
During this gathering, you will be taken on a guided meditation to help bring your vision into focus in four areas of your life: mind, body, emotions, and soul/spirit. There will be exercises to help you home in on your desires for the year ahead.
We can probably all agree that 2020 was not what we had planned or could ever have imagined would have unfolded as it did. But in this time of a worldwide pandemic that has kept most of us at home more and curtailed our travels, we have been able to think more about what matters most and how we want to live our lives going forward.
While 2021 will no doubt offer challenges, it also offers hope that a vaccine will allow us to return to a life with more freedom and possibility.
What better time to create a vision for ourselves that allows us to imagine how we want to think and use our MIND, how we want to FEEL as we leave 2020 behind and move into the next year of promise, how we want to treat our BODY, and how we want to nurture our SOUL and connect with SPIRIT.
We will be creating 4-5 SoulCollage® Cards during the salon and sharing with a group of collagers in our zoom room.
Come join us! For the affordable price of $50
The Zoom salon will be recorded, but live attendance is encouraged.
Instructions will be emailed to you in mid-December.

SoulCollage® Tarot Journey - Self-Study Course
Welcome to the Soul-Collage Tarot Journey Self-Study course. I offered this 22-week course for 3 years and it was very popular and fun for those who love learning about archetypes and creating SoulCollage® cards. Since then I have had queries about offering it again, and so I have decided to make it a self-study course that you can do over 22 weeks at your own leisure.
As you may already know, a Tarot deck contains 22 cards of the Major Arcana, each an archetype of the Self as we evolve and learn on the journey we call Life. We start out the lowly Fool #0, the Innocent with Beginner’s Mind and we end up dancing on The World #21, imbued with the wisdom of experience.
When you register you will receive a pdf with the links to 23 pdfs, including the Introduction. The Introduction offers a history of The Tarot, how to play with the cards, and how to determine your unique Tarot Profile, Shadow card, and Card of the Year. Then you you can start at 0-The Fool, and the following week proceed to 1-The Magician, and the next week, 2-The High Priestess, and so on, as you make a card each week for the archetype as you feel inspired.
Each week’s illustrated 5-page pdf explores ways of looking at the Tarot archetype and understanding its rich symbolism and esoteric knowledge, providing examples of archetypes from various Tarot decks. Each pdf contains journal prompts that will allow you to dig deeper into the wisdom of the archetype and its meaning for you. You will work (and play) with the archetypal energy, shape-shifting if you will, every week for almost half a year.
There will be an optional SoulCollage-Tarot Self-Study Facebook group so that you can share your wisdom and images with others taking the self-study course if you like. Although you may all be at different points along the journey, you can learn from each other and share what you have learned about yourself. I will occasionally post information about the Major Arcana archetypes there as well.
I hope you will enjoy taking this very rich journey, a pilgrimage of sorts, to better know yourself and the world through these magical archetypes.
When you register, you be taken to a page with a link to download the course introduction PDF. Look for the download on your computer. This contains all the instructions you need to get started on your journey, including a link and password to the course page (on last page of the PDF). The link will expire 24 hours so go ahead and download your introduction right away.
The course is a joyful journey into the realm of the imagination. Here's what participants of the course have said:
Your course is worth every penny. So user friendly, packed with understandable info, and I love seeing all the different tarot decks. Combining it with SoulCollage® helps make all the info personally meaningful.It's a lifetime study!! - Mary M.
Three of us from our small SoulCollage® group took your wonderful class together... Your weekly lessons have been brilliant and inspiring. They burrowed their way into my psyche to pull out some of the most creative aspects of myself. I am truly grateful for your expertise and for this class. It was soul satisfying and so much fun! I waited each week in anticipation for the next card. - Nancy A.
Thank you, Stephanie Anderson Ladd, for this course. You created a safe vessel to explore the cards both inwardly and intellectually. I love the practical depth you brought to understanding the Major Arcana and thus all the cards. - Janhavi M.
I especially appreciate the connections made in this course between the tarot trump cards and astrology, the chakras, relevant gods and goddesses, Jungian archetypes, and other modalities. It's been a wonderful complement to our SoulCollage suits.... This truly has been a master class… - Karen R.
I have learned much more than "Tarot", and understand how I can draw on ancient wisdom and knowledge patterns in forming my consciousness. Thank you, Stephanie. - Mairim G.
Thank you so much, Stephanie, for your inspiration and dedication in putting this course together. It feels like I have found a community of like-minded soul sisters, and I am truly grateful. It's hard to put into words how much I have learned because a lot of it expresses itself through subtle connections that I am still making. And perhaps it's too soon to say how much - I am certain that it will be many months in the gestation! - Ruth G.
I have been touched deeply by your teachings as well as everyone's contributions. The cards and accompanying insights have been profound and soul-stirring. - Lisa P.
Such detailed, rich, incredible teaching! - Lynne L.
I am pleased to offer a reading to provide your goddess and animal guide for the year. I will draw a card from The Goddess Oracle and Animal Medicine Card decks and provide a personalized reading (in pdf format) based on lore and my own intuitive interpretation.
