Soul Groups



Woman's Healing Soul Groups.

"A Search For Soul: The Inner Pilgrimage of Women" This is your opportunity to become a part of a small group experience of mutual support and listening. Trust and confidentiality create a safe place for you to share your personal struggles and triumphs. healing circle Receive guidance and facilitation for your inner spiritual pilgrimage as you heal old and current emotional, spiritual, mental and physical wounds and issues that inhibit well being and wholeness. We work with issues such as reconnecting with your Self, Others and the Divine; learning about and facing the effects of negative self talk and the abuse and control of others; gaining an understanding of patriarchy and the negative effects it has on your health and your inner Self; and retrieving your intuition or inner guidance system. You will learn the tools of a personal spiritual and healing journey. We use prayer, meditation, journaling, sacred drawing, the telling of our life stories, guided meditations, ritual and much more.

Soul Group - Phase I

Our core material is the book Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. You will have the opportunity to reclaim your inner voice, strength and creative vitality. The group meets once a week for six months and concludes with a Soul Retreat, a time of intense soul work and sharing. Participation in a Soul Group requires a commitment of six months.soulgroup This is a group experience that fosters a long-term connection between group members. As women we connect with many others in our lives, thus the work of the Soul Group has a positive, healing effect on all our relationships.

Soul Group - Phase II

If you have completed Soul Group Phase I for the initial six month period and would like to continue with a Soul Group doing more healing soul work, then Soul Group Phase II is for you. In Soul Group Phase II, we continue reading Women Who Run With the Wolves regarding issues of primary relationships of love, knowing ourselves deeply, teaching our mates/significant others more clearly who we are, learning to invite our mates/significant others into a deeper level of soul mate love and dealing with issues of family, mother, belonging and a "sense of home" in our lifes. This will help you examine many personal issues in your life and how they effect your most important relationships.

You will be able to make signifcant changes in your life that positively effect your relationships. You will develop a trusting, supportive frienship of the soul with the other women in the group. If you made progress in your healing soul work during Soul Group Phase I, you will be able to continue and extend that transformational work in Soul Group Phase II.

"This [healing soul work] trickles down into the lives of others. They see you change and they're inspired."
