What to Expect:

Soul Intentions 2026 is grounded in the Four Soul Questions that will guide your journey through self-inquiry, reflection, and alignment. Over four immersive days, you’ll experience a deep, reflective process, designed to ground you in clarity, connection, and purpose.

Stage 1: The Truth of You – Beyond Roles, Into Essence

As teachers, students, healers, and busy people in the world, it’s easy to identify with the roles we play. This stage invites you to step back and see yourself clearly. Through guided self-inquiry, a structured life assessment, and Vedic astrology insights, you’ll uncover where your life is fully aligned and where ingrained patterns or karmic residue may still be pulling you off-center. This clarity forms the foundation for everything that follows.

Stage 2: The Pulse of Desire – Listening to the Body’s Wisdom

Tune past the mental noise and into your body’s deeper intelligence. Using Ayurvedic principles for mind-body-spirit alignment, bolstered by the latest scientific research, you’ll learn to feel the difference between ego-driven wants and soul-aligned desires. Go beyond the basics of Ayurveda and into the powerful science-backed systems for balancing your physical, subtle, and energetic bodies—activating deep healing.

Stage 3: The Call to Serve – Refining Your Unique Contribution

You already help, teach, coach, or guide others in many ways big and small—but this stage invites you to refine your service so it’s even more aligned with your natural gifts and the world’s needs. Through life purpose coaching and guided inquiry, you’ll connect your personal dharma to your larger service, exploring not just what you offer but how you’re being called to evolve and serve in this next phase. You’ll leave with a crystallized intention of your unique contribution and the next inspired steps to embody it.

Stage 4: Gratitude & the Aligned Future – Embodying Your Next Level Now

This final stage moves you from insight into embodiment. Through a powerful San Kalpa Ritual and Future Self Meditation, you’ll step into the energetic frequency of the life and service you are meant to live. From that elevated state, you’ll activate gratitude as a magnetizing force, acknowledging not only what you’re thankful for now but also what you are grateful for in advance—future blessings already aligning with you. You’ll leave this session energetically anchored in your next level.

Closing: The Embodied Teacher

We’ll close by integrating your breakthroughs with journaling, reflections, and a collective ritual. This is not just about leaving with clarity; it’s about leaving in the state you wish to lead from—aligned, grounded, and inspired.
