“Telling your own story through collage isn’t merely creative; it’s a path to self-discovery, introspection, and empowerment.”
The Art of Living Creatively
In our fast-paced, digital world, it's refreshing to take a step back and rediscover the joy of creating something with your own two hands. One of the simplest yet immensely satisfying forms of creative expression is making a collage.
'Cacao & Collage’ Personal Workshops offer a unique opportunity to rediscover your creative essence. The workshops are designed to evoke curiosity, foster creativity, and provide the space and time to be present, feel relaxed and reignite a creative spark within and in your life.
Each personal session is individually tailored to guide you through the creative process of visual storytelling using a variety of creative and self-care tools.
What are the benefits of a personal ‘Cacao & Collage’ session?
Are you looking for ways to reduce stress and overwhelm in our fast-paced world and incorporate more creativity and joy in your life? Are you at a crossroads looking for clarity, direction, and insight about what’s next in your life?
Just like a personal training or a life coaching session, the ‘Cacao & Collage’ private workshops offer individual guidance, tailored specifically to your needs.
The personal guided sessions are for anyone who is ready to go on a creative self-discovery journey. Whether you have an avid creative practice, or you are a novice to arts & craft, the personal guided sessions are for anyone, at any age, with any skills.
‘Cacao & Collage’ Mandalas
There are two types of ‘Cacao & Collage’ workshops offered by Jill - the creative force behind Embody Yourself: ‘Through my own practice as a collage artist, I have developed a way to guide participants through the creative process and into a very meditative & self-reflective state. One of the tools that I use is the Mandala.’
The Mandala in one of its simplest forms is the circle, representing oneness & togetherness, but it also represents duality and opposition, just like the Yin/Yang symbol. However, instead of creating conflict, the Mandala harmonises and unifies. It shows us how opposites can be complementary and how we can create a more balanced and harmonious life.
Each guided session starts with an introduction of the Mandala, a short mindfulness & breathing exercise, followed by plenty of time for creativity and sharing.
‘Cacao & Collage’ Boxes
If you are ready to go a bit deeper, let Jill guide you through the process of creating your own collage box. Where a vision-board has height and width only, a box has the added dimension of depth, offering a very multifaceted creative process…
In mythology, boxes are symbols of concealment - a container, a vessel, and a sacred place to store any kind of object or energy. A box symbolises our own vessel, our body. And like our body, a box is three-dimensional, it has parts we show to the world and parts we conceal.
Learn how to create your own sacred vessel and bring it to live in a visual story reflecting all parts of you, both inside and out.

“I went to Jill’s creative collage workshop frequently as a sel- love present for myself. Jill creates such a relaxing and fun experience, she taught me different collage techniques and gave me time to just explore and be creative in my own way. I really appreciate and enjoy her workshop and I manifested my lifetime partner who matched the vision I made on the first collage.”
