"I’ve discovered that not only does creative work produce end results, it’s the process itself that inspires productivity in other areas. Sitting quietly and putting images or colors on a page not only relaxes me, it opens my mind to ideas and concepts in other areas of my work. Whether you think you’re creative or not right now, this workshop will bring you peace and confidence that you are creative!" - Sherry Hess
"I don’t consider myself to be an artist in the truest sense of the word, but Minette helped me to understand that to be creative is our birthright. I was happily surprised at the pleasure I felt in taking the time to nurture that creativity. Minette’s teaching and playful assignments invited me to get curious and become intentional around bringing my creative gifts to the forefront and to understand how these play a role in the success of my business. I would recommend this course to anyone, get in touch with your creative side, it's fun!" - Tracy Johannson

I remember when I first discovered intuitive collage over a decade ago, it was as if a whole new world opened up for me that I didn’t know existed. Even though I had done a lot of journaling and dabbled in various arts and crafts, this felt different. It showed me how to make art this is meaningful and beautiful. It helped me to see and experience new aspects of myself that had been lost or buried. And perhaps most importantly, intuitive collage has been a powerful part of my healing journey over the past 12 years and something I return to over and over again.
I want you to experience the magic of intuitive collage for yourself! You will always discover something about yourself you didn’t know.

Meet your guide on the Soul Journey: Dr. Minette Riordan
I was that girl who always had her head buried in a book, everything from fantasy fiction and the odd Harlequin romance to philosophy and self-discovery. I remember one high school teacher looking at me oddly when I chose to write an essay about the existentialists... and my fellow classmates agreed my love of William Faulkner and Edgar Allan Poe was just one more weird thing about me.
As I grow older, I spend more time going inward rather than looking for answers in a book. Although I am still a voracious reader, I love exploring the stories and memories of my past for clues that are sometimes elusive and sometimes obvious.
As someone personally experiencing all the ups and downs of midlife, I find that exploring clues of my past can offer insights and clues to my current sense of identity and purpose.My favorite way to explore my own stories is through art and writing.
To give you a little bit of the backstory, I have a Ph.D. from Stanford University. My childhood love of story turned into a doctorate in Spanish specializing in Latin American literature.
I have been teaching and facilitating creative processes for close to 30 years. I have taught at the high school, university and community college levels covering topics as diverse as feminist literature, world religions and time management for creatives.
I am a serial entrepreneur who loves building businesses and this is my third and favorite business, although I loved them all. Along the way I have gathered a long list of certifications and trainings in SoulCollage®, Zentangle®, JourneyCircles™ and am a Certified Depth Coach through the Journey Path Institute.
I am happiest when I am painting, walking in nature or facilitating creative experiences like the one I've creative just for you in Soul Journey. Please come join me and together let's unveil your personal mythology.
