Transformation is Within

Senses of the Soul meditation method facilitates a new understanding of your emotions and their role in your daily living. Come and learn how meditation is the key to integrating of your emotions and expanding your consciousness. 

Senses of the Soul provides a platform of conscious listening, awareness and integration. When big sensations, feelings and experiences arise, we learn to turn inward instead of outward for answers. Meditation is not something exotic, but available to all of humanity. Meditation is something we can naturally do. 

​The Senses of the Soul meditation training provides the techniques to slow distractions, shift our energy, change our patterns, move past resistance, and let us thrive NOW. ​Senses of the Soul utilizes the somatic work of yoga and guided meditations, creating a safe space to LISTEN to the messages of our feelings, resolve pain at the source, and meet our own unique needs.

Senses of the Soul: A New Toolkit
Now is the time to experience Kundalini Yoga and Meditation with greater depth, skill and nuance than ever before. Through a combination of personal practice, group work, and immersive learning, you will deepen your understanding of yourself and your own life path, and emerge from the program with a visceral sense of purpose and direction. You will dive deeply into your inner guidance and experience an incredibly supportive community. This journey is like no other.

A Program for Everyone

You will penetrate the art and science of meditation, and emerge with a toolkit to access depth, substance, and caliber. Through deeper connection to your emotions in meditation you transform your own life becoming a more conscious, compassionate, and joyful YOU. Senses of the Soul will teach you how to create a safe space to LISTEN to the messages of our feelings, resolve pain at the source, and meet our own unique needs. This is the heart of Meditation.
