SoulCollage® Institute ‘Salon’ online courses: www.soulcollage.com/online-classes

The SoulCollage® Institute in the USA has been set up to provide interactive online courses as further training for SoulCollage® facilitators, but offers some inexpensive courses to anyone in the SoulCollage® community interested to further their knowledge.  If you're unable to attend the online courses at the time, you can purchase them afterwards to listen to at your own convenience. Highly recommended. NB: The cost is in US$ and the time is US Pacific time so you will need to convert those.

SoulCollage® App for iPhone and iPad (Android version not yet available): http://www.soulcollage.com/app 

With this App, you can:

• Store your SoulCollage® cards.
• Carry them with you on your iPhone or iPad.
• Show your cards to people you meet or whenever you may be talking about SoulCollage®.
• Make notes on any card at any time using the keyboard functions on your device.
• Do readings anywhere: Draw a random card from your deck for a quick “Reading” or draw 4 cards for a traditional Reading.
• Save your Reading and its notes so that you can view all your past Readings.
   

SoulCollage® is also on Facebook and Pinterest. Great for keeping up to date with what's happening in the SoulCollage® world and for connecting with the very supportive world-wide SoulCollage® community.
