Social learning is soul transformation. Soul is collective with a partner & in a group. It is collective individuation & cultural therapy.

Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over & over again. [This is what we are creating together.]

Soul Space Matching Challenge

We are interconnected & transform together. Soul Space's design is based on this model: a belief in a kinship with all life as ensouled--natural, creative & WHOLE. We need each other & we all need help in some wa at some time. Now, when you purchase a class, retreat, kit or hybrid offering, you give 10 to someone in need (at risk youth, domestic violence survivors or unhoused people who work with Soul Space) along with art supplies & a journal. The truth is, we can only do this together! I, Heather, am so delighted to offer this soul project of 5 years to you & also ask from the bottom of my heart for you to take up the call & spread the love. No one is turned away! Reach out.

Soul calls us to be natural & rewild. So, we gather to remember our ensouled nature as we create tools for our journey: a soul journal; creativity altar; & pot in which we seed our community garden.

More plants are growing. . . these are ready to pick.

Rewilding is not about abandoning civilization but about enhancing it. It is to 'love not man the less, but Nature more.' [it] does not seek to control the natural world . . . to allow it to find its own way.
George Monbiot

  • Offer deep trauma resolution in response to eco-cultural crisis
  • Create sponsorship & mentorship to create a web of connection
  • Model conflict transformation & communication skills
  • Honor marginalized ways of being & knowing to create balance
  • Reach vulnerable populations with ongoing & needed resources

Frequently asked questions

Is Soul Space religious?

No Soul Space is not religious in the traditional sense. It is archetypal, based on the universal patterns & experiences of humanity. While it does relate to the root of religion to bind or connect through a deep commitment to life, it is for everyone regardless of belief. Rooted in the living nature of Nature or the world, soul is an ancient and archetypal word meaning the breath of life. Soul is about life . . . and it is for anyone who is alive. How you conceptualize soul is up to you. Personifying the idea of soul, however helps to engage & dialogue with them.
Our only rules are these:
1. Look & listen for the soul in others (beyond the ego with its wounds & complexes)
2. The story & the storyteller are perfect (don't try to "fix" anyone but lean in to understand deeper issues).
3. Mirror (reflect back) people's stories without judgement (the soul doesn't judge but loves) *mirroring creates empathy
4. Ask if the person wants to hear any insights or images you received before you mirror. Honor their answer.
5. Look to yourself if you see something in another to claim & integrate projections. Be self-honest & loving.
6. Practice mindful self-compassion. Return to your center or soul (again & again). 

Is the structure consistent? What can I expect?

We keep our offerings consistent with the same opening & closing, a circle format for groups,  simple instructions for partners and patterned releases of prompts, activities & exercises to make this as predictable & comfortable as possible. There is a saying that the most complicated things need to be simple, and this is a motto we have integrated, because in truth the revelation of your own path is not in our hands. Collective transformation has been found to emerge through a synergy of conditions, & we create this environment to facilitate soul guidance and intuition. For, it is your soul or inner knowing that is your true teacher . . . and the soul has their own way. As Tolkien said, "Not all those who wander are lost," and on some level you must get lost to find yourself, soul and way. At the heart of Soul Space's transformation is a pivotal reorientation from your ego to soul (fear to love). We try to make this as simple and easy as possible, but depth work isn't controlled by your ego. So relax, release & let go. 

What is Soul Space's purpose & how does it help in crisis?

Soul Space is about transformation and its purpose is to help transform people, groups, and the earth. It's heart is community and communitas or the spirit of community that gives rise to deep and meaningful change. Because communitas emerges in crisis through unstructured or liminal (transitional) conditions, this platform is not overtly structured, instead simulating nature and its emergent and adaptive complexity. This serves the purpose of allowing the underlying order in the chaos, the soul in our lives and the world to be able to take the helm.
