Longer Support
- The “Sabbatical for the Soul™” is a 1-12 month support program for individuals who are ready for a sabbatical, a retreat from the busy culture, and an advance into the deeper longings for life, and the excavation and cultivation of one’s deepest gifts. If you have been longing for the time, space, place and guidance to dive deep into the true psycho-spiritual purpose of your life, this program could be for you.
- Actually, their is no similar program on the planet!
- Slow down, unplug, then reconnect with nature, your purpose, and your gifts.
- Perhaps, begin to wonder what it is you truly desire, what it is that truly longs to come forth from you.
- Wander in a meadow, canyon, estuary, discover your deep imagination.
- Speak your deepest truth in a council of other pilgrims.
- Cry for and receive a vision of your place in the world.
- Reclaim lost gifts and desires, begin to embody these gifts, then return, or not, as a transforming individual with gifts to transform your culture.
