GURU Free Zone (even love gurus)

Soul Space is about honoring your soul as your inner knowing or guru.

You are your own GUIDE 

Connecting to nature connects you with your inner nature or soul.

All paths lead to the CENTER 

All beliefs (whether in a faith or a fern) are honored here.

Eco-Art & Play your WAY

Deep Creativity

Consciously creating in the image of our soul, we create a world that reflects & honors our differences & similarities as we draw from shared ancestry.

Imagination = Super Power

Embrace the power of the creative imagination as a way to connect with soul & the power the transform into YOU!

Heart & Body

Drop into your heart & body to connect with the embodied imagination, unconscious & your somatic wounds, bringing spirit into matter to heal the earth.

Art

Art is everything from poetry & painting to cooking, gardening & kitchen dancing. . . essentially anything creative that you do, including creating yourself & life.

Nature

We are a part of nature & this is about connecting to nature inside & out, both ecological & psychological, about being natural. The truth is that nature heals us.

Play

Play takes us back to childhood when we were free, natural, creative & imaginative. It is a natural flow state in which we are free & open, receptive to our soul.
Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen. [Conspire is to 'breathe' + 'together.']
(We conspire together.)                             Ralph Waldo emerson

The secret of artistic creation & the effectiveness of art is to be found in a return to the state of 'participation mystique' [mystical participation with nature]-to that level of experience at which it is [soul, collective or archetypal] man who lives, and not the individual.

Resources are all over

If there is a teaching of Soul Space it is to look, listen & live deeply in alignment with the world around you as an emergent curriculum.
  • Resources abound in nature which mirrors & meets you. Listen to the wind & look to the stars.
  • Check in with soul as well as out in the world. Drop into your heart & get in touch with your inner realm.
  • We have resources here for you too! From learning through art in graphic recording & facilitation  to communicating & creating your own groups in the Hive or learning how to create Containers . . . there is a lot for you to explore & discover. Here is a start.

Cocoon to transform together.

Your transformation is unique to you, but there are aspects that are universal. Soul Space takes an archetypal approach to connect through soul as life itself.

Intuitive Insight

The path you are upon fosters symbolic insight, based on the soul's intuitive function & communication, an invaluable gift in navigating life's bumps.

Inner Orientation

Let's face it, we can feel lost in ourselves, lives & world. An interior soul perspective helps us live a life of deep value, meaning & calling: OUR life.

Giving Culture

The real gift we receive is in creating a culture of giving & sharing based on the "generosity paradox" that we are happiest when we give. 
The transformation of the world is brought about by the transformation of oneself...one must know oneself. 
JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI 

Breath. This is about you being you.

Map your inner landscape

The soul's knowledge is cartographic, mapping lived experience to make sense of your journey & connect the dots of meaning & purpose.

Journey inward for love & peace

The longest journey is within you connecting head & heart to navigate your psychological landscape to embody & follow you soul.

Your were made for this, a natural

Soul is part of you & your energy anatomy & this is natural . . . including art. We have created art for 10,000s of years. You've got this!

No grades or tests ever

Cutting-edge science & ancient wisdom are woven in but no knowledge is required. Soul is not academic but relaxed, real & relational.

Self-generated, paced & created

This is an inner journey, guided by you & your soul. It is between you & You. You get to decide how, when, where & why you do anything.

No required beliefs or rules

Follow your soul. Create in your image. This is up to you. The only guidelines are about your relationship with others, so they can be free.
Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being & makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its [soul] purpose through him. . . he is a 'man' in a higher sense--he is 'collective man'-- who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind. [art is a natural way for soul to teach us.]

Archetypally Re-Emergent

All of the elements woven into Soul Space are archetypal, meaning they are recurring images, patterns or motifs that emerge independent of external cause because they are rooted in the perennial rhizome of our psychology: our power practices, including art, storytelling, dreaming . . .

Self/Soul-Guided: Your Way

R

Art recreates, integrates & regulates

Art increases: self-knowledge, confidence, love, control, compassion, care & independence 
Art reduces: stress, anxiety, grief, depression, loneliness, confusion, ADD/ADHD, memory loss, dementia, disassociation, suicide & ideation, addiction (technology included), alienation, conflict (inner & relationship) . . . 

Art needs to be freed from its frame to evolve the psyche of humanity.

Art's role is to transform humanity, including:
Inequality in race, gender, class, orientation . . .
Imbalance in relationships between people, institutions, class, religions, nations . . .
Unsustainable practices in relations with nature
Unjustifiable & Unhelpful human arrogance

Art is Powerful Healing Medicine

Increasing: Intuition, Empowerment & Agency
Mental, Emotional & Physical Health
Psycho-Spiritual Wellbeing & Balance
Social-Emotional Intelligence & Regulation
Med Treatment Experience & Outcome Success
Comprehension & Retention in Education
Innovation & Productivity in Work
Art is a necessity--an essential part of our enlightenment process. We cannot as a civilized society, regard ourselves as being enlightened without the arts.
