How Soul Mapping works

During this 6-week class, you will:

  • Use Soul Mapping to unlock the meaning behind your life's events and design a clearer path for the future.

  • Learn about the elements of pre-birth planning to create context for the patterns in your family of origin, your relationships, your career path, your health, etc. within your soul’s plan.

  • Examine the puzzle pieces of your life’s patterns and themes, and receive tools for moving through times of challenge with more wisdom and ease.

  • Meet with your instructor and the Soul Mapping community for biweekly mapping sessions. All calls are recorded for playback.

  • Use Soul Mapping to design your own Soul Map — the “arch of your soul.”

What is Soul Mapping?

When you reclaim your life’s events and make them your own, a fearlessness that takes hold. You become fierce in your pursuit of a new reality. SOUL MAPPING unlocks the patterns and makes sense of the plan—and it’s every bit as astounding as you are.

Workshop format

Here's what you can expect when you register for this 6-week retreat:

  • Biweekly live Soul Mapping sessions, recorded for playback.

  • Receive a new soul map each week, along with audio lessons, videos, and guided meditations.

  • Participate in a Past Life Regression (PLR), which can help you to learn details about your past and connect to your life purpose.

  • A private Soul Mapping community for connecting with members of the class.

  • Downloadable Soul Mapping workbooks with each map so that you can continue to use the workshop tools long after the class is over.

You really feel her enthusiasm for the subject matter. Thanks so much for another fabulous class!" — Sue, Nova Scotia
