A Soul Work Gathering
for
Turbulent Times
Find meaning,
resilience and
deep knowing
through myths,
soul reflection
and creative expression
Would you thrive in a quiet, soulful space where you can connect with yourself and follow your soul's inspiration?
Are you seeking a spiritual community where you can be authentic, truthful, and expressive?
Join Christina Becker and Sharlene Friedman
for a 7-week soul work journey into the grand cycles of life.
This is not another class or lecture. This is SOUL-WORK
If you are thirsting for soulful connection, a place where your dreams, stories, and art making matter.
Where every image, dream, and myth you share feeds the temple we’re building together.
These seven weeks invite you to:
➡️ Lay down fragments of meaning into a living structure of soul
➡️Share creative practice in a safe, witnessing community
➡️Engage mythically—not to escape, but to expand into life more fully
In 2025, the transpersonal planets - Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto - change sign.
As the great outer planets move into new signs, we are each called—individually and collectively—to evolve, reimagine, and rebuild. These aren’t fleeting transits. These are epochal shifts, like tectonic plates under our lives.
Outer planets change slowly.
When they do, we feel it in our bones.
The soul hears them as invitations to awaken into new awarenesses and possibilities.
They are personal invitations to live differently.
What is a Soul Work Gathering
Circle and Ripples is a gathering offering a quiet, safe, creative space to listen to the soul through dreams, time to create with a guided prompt, and sharing with others in community.
Rooted in Jungian psychology, storytelling, art, creative expression and the symbolic language of astrology, this seven-week experience is designed for seekers who crave depth, meaning, and community.
Together, we’ll reflect on the planetary forces—Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto—and their echoes in our personal stories, collective movements, and the universal patterns shaping our world right at the moment.

What people have said
about previous
Soul Work gatherings
"
“As someone who does most of their job over Zoom, I am amazed at how each session was so much more than a video call. You've managed to create what I can only describe as an environment, a dynamic space with a unique feel of its own and none of the usual "Zoom" fatigue I know so well. I appreciate the evident pre-planning and respect for our time, but also for our opinions and feelings, making all voices heard and holding space for everyone in such a large group of people. I felt something I didn't plan for or expect--a sense of commitment to our group and each individual person. I loved being exposed to people I never would have met otherwise. At the same time, I felt safe to develop a unique and intimate experience of my own.” ”
