"By soul I mean the vital, mysterious, and wild core of our individual selves, and essence unique to each person, qualities found in layers of the self much deeper than our personalities. By spirit I mean the single, great and eternal mystery that permeates and animates everything in the universe and yet transcends all. Ultimately, each soul exists as an agent for spirit. The concept of soul embraces the essence of of our particular individuality. This individuality reflects our unique and deepest personal characteristics, the core enduring qualities that define our personhood, the true self, the real me. Soul is what is most wild and natural within us. Soul embraces and calls us toward what is most unique in us. Spirit encompasses and draw us toward what is most universal and shared.”
– From Soulcraft by Bill Plotkin
Bringing our luminous nature into daily life in no small task given the myriad of distractions and duties we’re pulled into each day. Our work is not to transcend the messiness of our daily duties and difficulties but rather to embrace and infuse our lives with the fullness of our soul. Living our days with a greater sense of meaning and intention requires daily devotion and dedication to our deeper nature along with support, reminders and resources to help us we when we feel adrift.
This soul gathering was born out of the desire to deepen into soul work with more consistency, to help us stay awake and willing to engage with the full spectrum of our lives and the predicament we face on the planet at this time.
