“Soul Friend was such a potent journey. It felt like a big commitment to sign up for a two year program, and I’m so glad I did. The monthly themes we investigated together were so vital to my growth, both personally and professionally. Meg was so skillful at inviting us to explore our edges, and find places where we could stretch just beyond our comfort zone. As a result, I’m able to see deeper truths about what I’m capable of and what I desire for my practice. I have a deeper awareness of the emotional and spiritual resources I have to offer friends, family and clients, as well as the boundaries that come along with. Soul Friend pushed the needle for me, helped me fill in gaps in my practice - ones that I didn't even know I had!”

“Soul Friend provides a very well developed course of study and tended community interaction that clarified for me why I am here in this world, at this time. Soul Friend provided the purpose and skillful methods to become more adept at listening and processing information with community members and professionally, when requested. I have become a more wholly holy human being over the course of these past two years. I highly recommend Soul Friend to anyone curious enough and courageous enough to wade into the deep water.”

“One of the most beautiful things about this program was how different each person was. Everyone brought their own essence, their own style, and all were celebrated. It can be much too easy with trainings like this to learn that there is one “right way” to do it, but actually learning from each member of the cohort was so essential to my growth as a soul friend and human.”

“My first year in the Soul Friend Apprenticeship was spent learning to love myself, practicing feeling ease in the present moment; just being and not doing, and finally cultivating keen powers of observation enabling me to have meaningful encounters with other than human entities, specifically my animal allies. 

In my second year I was unmoored by the death of my beloved mother. I found support in the sacred circle of my soul friends, the safety to show up how I really was, grief stricken. 

I recommitted to my practice as a contemplative artist. I found the confidence to boldly step into this path and communicate to others about how I show up in my studio. I felt the courage to outwardly share how my painting practice and spiritual practice are deeply intertwined. In doing so I fellow artists, healers, creatives, friends and strangers seek me out to learn more about creative wellness. 

Through this journey I have learned that I am not alone, that I have never been alone. That I am held by my family, by the circle of Soul Friends, by my ancestors, by Mother Earth and all that is.

I am more awake and in this state I can drop into a unique dialogue with Earth, especially the bird messengers who speak to me in their calls, movements and our collective dreams. My heart is open to all those who desire and wish to be seen for who they really are.”
