Exploring Shadows &
Inviting the Light
Make Well is a weekly SoulCollage®️ group using intuitive collage to explore the complexities of life - our dreams, sense of purpose, our pain, wonder and longing, the love we embody, and so much more. The Make Well community is strong and welcoming, no art experience is necessary (though seasoned artists gain just as much value), all supplies mailed to your home, and the group is led by Kathryn Snell-Ryan, LPC, Art Therapist & SoulCollage®️ facilitator. Attend each week or just when it works for your schedule.
An Examined Life Is
A Life Worth Living.
Participants use a variety of collage techniques to deepen self-awareness, identify & integrate the many parts of self, explore the dark or shadow experiences through a creative and softening lens, and tap into playful levity as the ‘overthinking brain’ is bypassed. SoulCollage®️ fosters meaningful joy and a creative deep-dive into who we are and what we need to feel alive.
COLLAGE
Whether you're new to collage or a seasoned artist, SoulCollage®️ is a specific intuitive collage process invented by an amazing therapist in the 80's - Seena Frost.

Experience Renewal & Integration
SoulCollage is a truly powerful way of allowing all the beauty and all the pain to co-exist in a highly integrated way. You will feel a greater sense of wholeness, creativity, and grounded perspective.
Welcome to
make well.
Hello! I'm Kathryn Snell-Ryan and like you, I yearn to feel alive, whole, inspired, grounded, and sane as I navigate the complexities of adult life in the 21st century. Out of my 20+ years as an Art Therapist, a Psychotherapist, and an Artist, I have found SoulCollage to be (hands down!) THE MOST magical and profound way to make sense of life - my purpose, grief, wonder, beauty, pain, joy, and so much more....
This intuitive collage process and the warmth found in the Make Well community is designed to tap you into both the simple beauty of your life and the profound insights that will help you heal and feel more whole.
SoulCollage Is Right For You If...
- Having weekly creative time is desired but it's difficult to show-up consistently.
- You can free up your Tuesday or Wednesday evening for 1.5-2 hours (even if it takes negotiating, finagling, or sneaking the time).
- You want a place to be quiet & just make alongside the collective energy of others.
- You want to creatively explore who you are through the lens of Art Therapy.
- And finally, if you can already picture, down in your guts & bones, the version of you working creatively, headphones in, mind & hands alight with creative energy.
Let's face it, none of us really need more fancy art stuff to 'prep' for our next project... WE SIMPLY NEED TIME TO MAKE & THE COMMITMENT TO STICK WITH IT.
join Make Well!
