Introduction

Shulamit Sofia MSW created Soul Strength Seminars as a resource for people with spiritual concerns. She developed easy yet effective ways to build inner potency in all dimensions of life: Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual.

The purpose of Soul Strength Seminars is to provide a safe environment and support while dealing with personal issues. Soul Strength Seminars, though rooted in the Jewish Mysticism of Kabbalah, derives from Universal Wisdom. Although based in Judaism, our perspective encompasses all who believe in God’s glory and care about humanity.

Rationale
 
We offer a variety of ways to strengthen your spiritual core. Just as Pilates strengthens your physical core and allows your body to have more strength in other areas not seemingly connected to the abdominal core, so developing a strong spiritual core enables you to maintain your equilibrium and develop equanimity regardless of circumstances. When you can hold your center without being buffeted by the dramas of daily life — difficult circumstances including illness, family issues, loss, contracting economies and political uncertainty — you can live your life freely from the inside out.

Benefits
Out of our work together you will learn to:
  • dance with the music of life instead of trying to orchestrate it
  • enrich your life by more than money
  • enjoy more satisfaction in all areas of your life
  • have a greater understanding of yourself, others and life itself
  • replace what isn’t working in your life with what does
  • have more peace of mind
  • live a life of meaning and purpose
