Journey of the Soul

The Pathwork Transformation Program

By compassionately facing, accepting, and transforming our personal inner negativity, we each improve the quality of our own lives and help transform the negativity in the world around us. To do this we align with our higher self, which naturally strengthens the divine spark in each one of us that is vibrantly alive, expansive, loving and in truth. The Pathwork helps us to respond to the longing of the soul for union within, with others, and with all of creation.

“Make room for unobstructed life, for unencumbered spirit.”
“Let it fill every part of your being so that you will finally know who you really are.”
(PGL 256)

We begin by focusing on our mask, higher and lower selves to understand how their interaction creates the positive and negative realities of our existence. As we take on the challenging task of dissolving our mask and confronting misconceptions and negativities, we evolve from dependency into self- responsibility.

We experience the emergence of a new possible reality, which includes loving relationships, deep and true communication, and healthy interdependence. We open to explore sexuality in relationship to our spiritual longing and our life.

We bring spiritual practice into our daily experience, further developing our ability to nurture ourselves and grow our capacity to live in truth, and choose love.

As a direct result of our personal work, we become more aware and present, more capable of experiencing and expressing love, thereby entering a phase of wanting to nurture and give back to the universe in leadership and service.

Each weekend includes:

1) Spiritual Practice:

2) Conceptual Work:

3) Personal and Interpersonal Process Work:

Practicing and experiencing letting go of masks and defenses, developing the capacity to become appropriately vulnerable and working through deep issues with the guidance of your teacher and support of your fellow students.
