Soul is the foundation and essence of a person, and so a helper needs depth of vision to help at a level that counts. Such an approach is not only effective for those who are helped but offers deeper satisfaction to the professional.  Register October 27, 2018 - 10 am - 3:30 pm A Soulful Life in a Soulful World  According to traditional teachings, soul makes us deeply human and unique persons. It allows us to be intimate with the people around us and with everything we do. It is found at home, in family, among friends and in nature. It needs attachment, rather than detachment, and yet it fosters a deep and very human kind of spirituality.
