About this Event

Are you standing at a turning point?

Whether you feel stuck in a current chapter or are simply ready to build a deeper foundation for your goals and life direction, this immersive seminar offers the clarity you’ve been seeking. Join us for a transformative, half-day journey of guided practices designed to help you uncover and articulate your Higher Purpose.

You will move beyond abstract theory to craft a personal Higher Purpose statement that feels authentic, grounded, and perfectly aligned with your soul’s path.


The Experience

Through guided meditations and embodied practices, you will receive concrete, practical guidance to uncover your deepest why. Using the yogic chakra system as a framework for alignment, we will explore how your Higher Purpose functions as an inner compass—helping you evaluate major life transitions, relationships, and your biggest goals. Please bring a journal to record your insights.


What you will take away
  • Special Gift: Every participant will receive a free copy of the newly released book: Stuck in Yesterday: Visionary Practices for Building a Purposeful Future. The workshop themes are woven from its pages, allowing you to continue your journey at home.
  • Codes of Self-Knowledge: The beginnings of “a higher purpose codex” to deepen self-guidance
  • A Personal Purpose Statement: A clear, written anchor for your life’s work.
