Soul collage is a technique in which we honor what catches our eye, and how a variety of images can help us pay attention. Come to your senses is a longer art and soul workshop which uses sensory meditations to focus on smell, sight, sound, touch, and taste; today's exercise is one path in awakening your senses.
