The Neter Letter
Supporting SoulCollage® Facilitators & Their Work in the World
|
|
This “both/and” way of dealing with Shadow is central to SoulCollage®. Even one personal Neter that I refuse to recognize and work with towards better balance can impact the balance of the whole of creation. We are that interrelated, that interwoven with each other. We must pay attention to the Shadow sides of our Neters because they won’t disappear by our ignoring them. ... Your Observer Committee Neter has a responsibility to take a flashlight and descend into the darkness of your less conscious self and find the unexpressed and shadowed Neters living there. SoulCollage® is a tool. |

Beyond Words: SoulCollage® as Catalyst
for a Survivor's Deep Healing
|
|
Heather Conn | Sunshine Coast, Canada | September 2023
Trigger warning: This article contains mentions of sexual abuse.
|
|
How do you integrate love and sexual abuse, especially when the perpetrator was your father? That’s the challenge I faced in my early thirties, when I was confronting childhood incidents and inappropriate treatment I experienced as an adult with my dad. I admired his humour, intellect, and professional expertise as an anesthesiologist. How could this successful, generous man have done such things to me? |

Embracing Your Inner Children
|
|
We all have the children we used to be within us, no matter what our present age may be. These inner selves can be a great help to us as adults if we embrace them and listen to what they tell us.
Do you have a child of wonder who views the world with innocence and curiosity, or an angry child who throws tantrums when things are out of balance? How about a lonely child who needs attention and love, or a creative child that just wants to play? All of these aspects of ourselves make us who we are today. Although we may not always appreciate them, they have much to teach us about ourselves. Learn more.

SoulCollage® iPhone & iPad App
New! Version 2.0 is now available!
|
|
Thank you to everyone who sent feedback and suggestions about how we might improve the App! After backing up your data, update the App through the App Store just like any other app.
The idea for the App came to Kylea in a dream, about 10 years ago. Jim spent many sleepless nights working with the developers in India, and the App became a reality. Now after some years and many more sleepless nights, we’ve brought it up to date with a new design and some nice new features. We hope you enjoy it!
Version 2.0 of the App has been completely rewritten using Apple's latest suite of development tools. Here are some new features:
- New, cleaner design to bring more emphasis to the cards and notes.
- Improved slideshow with speed control and the ability to pause and scroll back to view a particular card.
- Ability to zoom in on a card image to see more detail.
- Improved backup and restore using Apple's built-in Files App.
- Easy syncing between multiple devices using the iCloud.
- Implementation of standard iOS navigation tools to move between screens.
- Implementation of standard iOS text tools for entering notes, including cut, copy, paste, microphone dictation, and translation.
