About the Institute

As a psychotherapist, I started to see a common theme among my clients, and even began to experience this myself out in the community in general.

It’s been reported that we are living through a loneliness epidemic, with people stuck on their screens, arguing through social media, possibly reading self-help books, doing all sorts of things alone or in “parallel play” in an attempt to feel better, or at least not feel worse.

Part of the problem is that they wind up not feeling much of anything at all, and then the problem ends up that none of it seems to be working, and they end up feeling worse than before.

People all over the world are saying to me, “I’m tired of all this shallow, meaningless, cursory conversation. People are waiting to get mad about the new thing. I don’t go out because it is more of the same. I want deeper connections, soulful friendships that are meaningful, and long-lasting. But how do I get these? How do I do this?”

The interesting thing is that this actually isn’t new. We need friendships that are close for our mental, physical, and spiritual health. We form tribes of people that we are close to. This is how society is formed, and has always been formed. But somewhere along the way, we forgot how to have healthy connection with others.

I started researching those who had close relationships about what they did to acquire them and maintain them. Most of the people I spoke with had friendships that were at least 30 years in length. Some were lucky enough to be married to their closest friend. They let me in on their deepest secrets to deep and meaningful friendships. With practice, I was able to gain a couple of really deep friends in the process, and I want to share these secrets with you.

Ready to take the next step towards a happier, more fulfilling life, enriched by deep friendships with other deep souls?

Beginning March 2025, I will be hosting live online workshops, as your guide. I welcome you to start your journey to uncovering your True Soul, and the True Souls of others.
