The Aware Ego Collage Process is another method for deepening our ability to know, accept and honor all of our Selves and to continue to grow our Aware Ego Process.


    There are many ways to enter this process.  One way to begin is to pick a set of Selves that feel like opposites.  For example we may start with a protective self and a vulnerable self.  We then enter the collage work with a desire to create two Archetype Collage cards.  One card to express each of these selves.


    We begin responding to and selecting images.  Usually done in silence, the process of creating becomes very strong as we bridge our conscious and unconscious resources and allow  our intuitive and creative energies to combine with our more rational process to bring about something quite unexpected.


    We then sit with each collage and write a short poem, title or description of it.  This is another avenue for deepening our relationship with this self (not to be confused with interpreting or analyzing it}.  It is more like giving birth and then being curious (rather than judgemental) about this new being.


    At this point we could simply be with and feel what the card has to tell us; use it as inspiration for a Voice Dialogue session or explore it further through movement or writing. The images in the collages are usually very rich and strong and resonate with selves that have been touched.


    The last part of the process is to sit between the two cards.  Deepening the Aware Ego Process between these selves in this way is very powerful.   There is usually a feeling of peace and wholeness


    There are many variations on the theme. . . many ways to begin a collage and many ways to interact with the completed image. This process elegantly interweaves with the Psychology of Selves and Aware Ego work in Voice Dialogue.
