Come As You Are:

Using SoulCollage® to Journey from
Body-Criticism to Body-Compassion

4 Week Zoom Workshop with Anne Marie Bennett
September 11 – October 16, 2021

True love begins with the act of going home to ourselves and our body. We need to learn to handle our body with compassion, in the way we eat, in the way we work. Keeping our compassion alive and releasing tension in our body brings us deep peace and well-being.  ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Have you ever said negative things about your own body, either to yourself or to others?

Do you feel anxious when thinking about your body?

Do you find it difficult to shower your body with compassion and love?

Would you like to find some creative ways to move from criticism to compassion in regards to your body?

If you responded YES to any of these,
then this unique Zoom SoulCollage® series is  just what you need
to help you transform your inner criticism about your body
into deep acceptance and compassion.

What It’s All About

During this series of four 2-hour Zoom workshops, we’ll use SoulCollage® and a variety of other processes to explore our relationships with our bodies.  We’ll explore this topic through discussion, card making, journaling and card readings as well as looking at and working with some of our Inner Committee voices.

We’ll be meeting up with an Animal Companion and listening to their wisdom for us.  We’ll dive deeply into our chakra energies as well.

And all along the way, we’ll be changing the way we talk about our bodies so that we’re embracing ourselves with constant kindness and compassion.

We will also use some other tools to help us find our way from criticism to compassion concerning our bodies:

* EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques)
* Guided Imagery
* Self-Talk
* Affirmations
* Metta (Loving-Kindness) Practice

If you are a SoulCollage® Facilitator, you’ll take away many ideas for workshops of your own so that you can help others talk and act more kindly towards their bodies. SoulCollage® is such a powerful tool for this inner work!

This series is for new OR experienced SoulCollagers, and for anyone who has ever had disheartening thoughts about his/her body.

If you are new to SoulCollage®, please watch this 20-minute overview video first (with gratitude to Facilitator/Trainer Catherine Anderson!) so that you are familiar with the process and how to make a card.

You’ll walk away from this series with lots of new SoulCollage® cards and a whole new way of seeing yourself!

Here’s What People Are Saying
About Anne Marie’s
Come As You Are SoulCollage® Course

I enjoyed the daily Encourage-mails and thought that all of them were very appropriate, connecting with the theme and gave lots of information, articles and videos.  The classes were very well organized with lots of handouts as well as Homeplay suggestions that we could do on our own.  I highly recommend this online course.  Lots of facts, information, encouragement were shared. 
~ Hannalie, South Africa

I liked the class. I know it wasn’t about weight loss, but I lost 7 lbs and a few inches. I wasn’t on any diet, but more of an acceptance of my body and being more kind to my body. I liked the daily emails. Very happy I signed up!
~ Dawn, New Mexico

I really liked the daily Encourage-mails.  Everyday I looked forward to receiving them.  I also used the Personal Pact almost everyday-I think I only missed one day.  I think this is a class that would benefit most people.  It certainly benefited me in being more mindful about body image, negative self talk and developing more self acceptance of my body.
~ Linda, Florida

Even when I was distracted by other things, the daily Encourage-Mail emails were a gentle reminder to stay in the conversation.  The whole class served to raise my awareness of what has been going on in my psyche/inner world.
~ Dani, Washington

I thought this course was wonderful! It was thoroughly conceived, with many experiences for the attendee to consider body messages and then to change them. The daily Encourage-mails were to me the most effective part of the class because they helped to ‘cement ‘ intention between the classes, on a daily basis and on many levels. This was similar to a daily meditation for me. I would certainly recommend the class to others; it was beneficial to me in ways that I never expected.  I can actually say that I have developed an awareness of compassion and gratitude for my wonderful body, in all circumstances! I had no idea this would be available to me… ~ Patricia, Michigan

When I got sick suddenly during the class, I practiced being patient and gentle with myself and body. The EFT tapping lessened my anxiety, depression, and discouragement. Practicing gratitude continues to be very useful allowing me to recognize unexpected/overlooked blessings. This also supports my spiritual learnings which interestingly are complementary to the Come As You Are content.  ~ Susan, Massachusetts

I loved the course. It helped me to look at my body in a different way. I feel I am now less critical and more loving and accepting.  ~ Simone, Massachusetts

I am very happy with this course. It made me more aware of how I react on my body, especially when I experience pain. I can accept my body more than before. I enjoyed every part of this class, thank you so much! I have learned to look at my body in a more positive way and with more respect and thankfulness for everything that is going well.
~ Trudy, The Netherlands

I haven’t had time to delve into all of the call recordings yet, but the daily Encourage-mails and posts that other people have made on our private Facebook page have led me to make friends with my body, just as it is. The marked increase in mercy toward myself has bled into other aspects of my life, and have shown up as affirmations, decluttering, and other acts of self care.
~ Gail, Connecticut
