“You simply can’t go wrong with any of SoulWork’s offerings, they’re so nourishing to the soul. I have been searching for an authentic meditation program for awhile. Something that’s from a lineage that has roots which is actually more rare than you would assume. This was it! I feel confident and proud about sharing this medicine with others.”

- Dusah

 

“I have participated in several training with Soulwork and I loved them all. This course very very grounded and the knowledge was transmitted in a beautiful, loving and super clear way that was easy to understand and practice. The portion on how to teach these techniques to others was really well structured, clear and concise but also very complete  and easy to understand. I will most certainly do another course with Soulwork.”
