Transformation
Do you long to come home?
You’re not alone. Many of us experience a restlessness, a desire to come home to ourselves and to God. We grapple with the masks we wear, and at times feel disconnected from our authentic selves in Christ. It’s a journey we all navigate, and together—during the Living from the Heart course—you will be invited to explore and experience a deeper sense of belonging and purpose.
Why Choose SoulStream’s Living from the Heart course?
Living from the Heart offers a learning community that invites participants to deepen their experience of intimacy with God, self, and others.
Opening to God’s heart of love with our whole heart, especially in our most broken places, brings a healing integration within and provides the courage to offer our lives in loving compassion to the world around us.
