The phoenix always rises from the ashes.

There is always the resurrection following the first part of the journey—always, always, always. You cannot have one without the other. The phoenix always rises from the ashes; it cannot be otherwise. You are assuming there are only ashes.

Fate and destiny differ in how they shape your life: one is ruled by the ego, the other by the soul. Fate is a shared, collective experience, but the moment of crisis arrives when the ego reaches its limits — and that’s when the soul awakens. Our world now stands at this very crossroads, poised between fate and destiny. This is not about personal achievement or individual gain; it’s about how your destiny becomes an act of service to the greater whole. Fate is the path of self-centered will; destiny is the path of divine purpose. The difference between them determines not only the course of your life but the evolution of the world around you.

This workshop invites you to reflect deeply on the shift from ego to soul, from self-will to mystical service. What happens when you allow your soul to take charge of your life? How might everything change if you surrender the need to control and instead listen to the call of destiny?
