The Language of the Soul workshops

The Language of the Soul

Date: October 13, 2012

While the concept of "soul" is one with which we are all familiar, its traditional meaning has undergone some interesting changes in the last few years. These changes identify the soul as a dynamic entity that is real, ever present, and constantly trying to communicate with us. The language of the soul has always existed right in front of our eyes and under our noses, yet we never notice because we have never been taught to notice. Schools teach material facts and linear thinking. Soul communication is energetic and metaphoric.

This workshop will focus on the new 21st century understanding of “soul”, as well as the process of soul communication, that is, the energetic aspects of soul language. We will explore the history of the concept of soul and the many reasons why soul communication is often unnoticed and/or ignored. We will investigate and experience reality from the energetic viewpoint of the soul as well as learn how to begin to foster the development of our intuitive ability to communicate through our energy senses.

Discovering the ability to communicate with our souls gives us access to a best friend, a constant source of unconditional love and universal energy as well as infinite wisdom and individual guidance. Learning the language of the soul opens the way to personal mastery and greater harmony in all aspects of life.

Co-Creating with the Soul

Date: November 3, 2012

Although our souls seek to communicate constantly, our cultural emphasis on material facts and logical thinking often preclude the development of the right-brain, intuitive abilities we need to access and co-create with the soul. This workshop will help us learn how to open to the soul’s wisdom as well as how to recognize, interpret and respond to the many ways the soul seeks to communicate every day.

Through guided imagery, dream work, movement, synchronistic analysis, and symbolic interpretations, we will learn how to develop an active co-creative relationship with the soul. We will experience direct connection by activating the right side of the brain; while also learning to understand the singular and largely unfamiliar rules of co-creation. When we learn how to work with our souls rather than at cross-purposes, our lives can flow with much greater harmony, joy and compassion.

Participants are encouraged to bring and share interesting dreams and meaningful coincidences from their own lives. Although it is helpful to have had the Language of the Soul workshop previously, it is not required.

About the facilitator

Beverly Crane has a PhD in humanities with subspecialties in psychology and anthropology. Her academic expertise includes training in Jungian, cognitive, and social psychology with postgraduate work in ethno-psychiatry and psycho-synthesis. She is also a nondenominational ordained minister with a counseling concentration.

After she gained research experience at Harvard University and teaching experiences at universities and educational institutions in both the United States and Europe, a life-threatening illness redirected Beverly’s life toward exploring the relationship between psychology, spirituality, and healing. This exploration eventually led to the development of Transformational Expansion, a positive, holistic, client-oriented approach to personal and spiritual growth that emphasizes the development of inner guidance, co-creation, and personal empowerment.

In private practice since 1992, she uses techniques from many different psychotherapeutic modalities as well as her own personal experience to help people see their problems and crises as opportunities for adventures in self-transformation.
