What This Is
Not a course. Not a curriculum.
A living field.
Soul at Work is a live, highly curated coaching immersion for a small group of trusted entrepreneurs, professionals and leaders — built around one central skill.
The ability to use whatever you are facing — professionally, personally — as the means and moment to find and grow into your authentic self.
Our professional lives are not separate from our inner lives. The challenges we face at work — the stuck places, the frustrations, the hard decisions, the moments of doubt, the gaps in our skills and abilities — are not obstacles to our development. They are the material of it.
Soul at Work is the intersection of our truest needs and aspirations and our to do list and KPIs: an ongoing, supported practice of meeting difficulty with clarity, trust, openness, and creativity, guided by a reliable north star — your actual values.
This is not a course with pre-packaged content. It is an organic, responsive experience that evolves in real time based on the energy, needs, and direction of the group. It goes where the energy goes.
The Journey
Six phases of terrain,
not a fixed path.
Rather than a linear curriculum, Soul at Work moves through six interconnected phases of development. Think of these as terrain — landscape to explore, return to, and revisit as your circumstances evolve. The group will be at different places at different times. That is by design.
The Longing
Something is missing — you can feel it before you can name it. This phase is about honoring that signal rather than explaining it away. What is the pull? What is it asking for? What is underneath? The longing is not a problem. It is the first honest thing.
The Reckoning
What do I actually value — beneath the values I've inherited, performed, or settled for? What am I genuinely good at, and what am I merely good enough at to get trapped in? The reckoning names both the gifts and the snares. It asks you to look squarely at what is true.
The Selection
We cannot do everything. Cannot have everything. Cannot even want everything — not really. This phase is about choosing deliberately, even joyfully, the battles that matter most. And releasing the rest. Not as failure. As freedom.
The Softening
Here is the paradox: we must love and accept ourselves exactly as we are for our lives to actually change. The softening is the humbling — making peace with our limits, our irrationalities, the things we need that we wish we didn't. This is not defeat. It is where transformation becomes possible.
The Practice
Living deliberately at your developmental edge. Constructing small, honest, often playful experiments. Tracking what actually happens. Surrendering how it's supposed to go in favor of what actually works. Discovering who you're becoming through surprise and delight — not through a plan written by your inner critic.
The Ground
Not arrival — there is no arrival. But a new place to stand. A practice you trust, that is yours alone. A way of meeting difficulty that you recognize as your own. You know how to return to yourself when you lose your footing. That is the ground.
How It Works
A rhythm built for
depth and integration.
Sessions alternate between two modes, creating a natural observe → metabolize → experiment loop:
Depth Sessions
Built around one participant's real situation — a genuine hot seat, with the group as active witnesses and co-explorers. Closing with what each person is taking from the encounter. These sessions create the cross-pollination that makes a diverse group irreplaceable.
Practice Sessions
Built around a theme, tool, or framework — teaching content with immediate application, journaling, paired work, experiment design. This is where inner infrastructure gets built and the language of the work becomes shared.
Between Sessions
The work happens in the week. Participants are invited to bring their actual lives into the container: challenges they're navigating, experiments they're running, moments where they catch themselves at their edges.
Between-session elements include journaling prompts, experiment tracking, and jigsaw reading — where each participant explores different material and brings a unique perspective to the group. There is no platform, no group chat. The container is intentionally bounded. That's what makes it safe.
Special Contribution: Vaughan Wilkins, PhD
Vaughan Wilkins is a brilliant facilitator and co-creator of Story Weavers — a body of work using narrative to help people understand and transform their lives. At some point in the program, Vaughan will lead a session exploring the stories we inhabit. What kind of story are you in? Are you at the beginning of a chapter, the end, the murky middle? What do myth and cultural narrative reveal about what's possible? Honestly, there's no telling exactly what he'll have us do — but it will crackle!
For Whom
Succeeding in important ways.
Feeling something essential is missing.
Soul at Work is designed for professionals and business owners who have enough solid ground to do genuine interior work — and who feel the pull of a more meaningful way of working and living.
You might be ready for something new but unsure what. You might be scattered and unable to implement your values despite knowing what they are. You might be in golden handcuffs — well-compensated, respected, quietly unfulfilled. You might feel the pull of purpose without yet having given it a name.
Common to all: you feel you have what you need internally. You know the gap is between what you're capable of and how you're actually living. You've experienced the power of genuine clarity before, and you know that's what you need now.
