What word shapes your journey?

You can call life an experience—or not call it anything at all—but when you choose a single word and bring it into your life as a focus, that word becomes a bridge. All the experiences of your life begin to gather, and you start to cross the journey of your life through it. Before that, life is just fragments floating, without a core magnet to draw them together. The real question is what that core magnet will be—what word shapes your journey? Is it sacred or meaningless? I chose a sacred journey, a holy journey, because why would anyone choose otherwise?

Mysticism is, at its heart, the direct experience of the nature of the Divine. In this workshop, you are invited not to study mysticism as an abstract idea, but to enter into the lived experience of your own soul. The soul is not a concept or belief system—it is part of our original design, carrying sacred knowledge that long predates organized religion. In the great mystical centuries, life itself was oriented toward the soul; it was listened to, honored, and trusted as the primary source of guidance and meaning.

Through this experiential approach, we explore how the soul communicates, what it truly hungers for, and how to discern the difference between spiritual and psychological crises—an essential skill in contemporary spiritual life. The workshop also addresses modern mystical experiences, the laws that govern them, and the profound role of grace and prayer in restoring balance, clarity, and inner authority. You are guided in applying mystical law to everyday concerns such as health, happiness, and sanity, while cultivating a grounded, embodied mystical consciousness that can be lived—not just contemplated.
