What You'll Explore

The Dark Night of the Soul is more than a single spiritual experience. It can involve changes in identity, relationships, beliefs, direction, and our understanding of ourselves.

Recognizing the Dark Night

Identity breakdown, shadow work, life transitions, protective patterns, and spiritual awakening.

Cycles of Transformation

The wave, trough, spiral, seed, chrysalis, and phoenix as symbols of contraction and renewal.

Astrology of the Dark Night

Saturn, Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, eclipses, lunar cycles, the nodes, and houses of transformation.

The Body & Nervous System

Breath, heart coherence, circadian rhythms, the vagus nerve, and sympathetic and parasympathetic patterns.

Consciousness & Coherence

Polarity, separation, symbolic interpretations of biofields, Earth rhythms, and inner transformation.

Rebuilding & Manifestation

Inherited patterns, personal choice, intention, embodiment, and the actions that help create lasting change.

The class also explores primordial waters, psychopomps, Odin, threshold archetypes, collective transformation, and spiritual sensitivity.

The Dark Night of the Soil

Roots Grow Before Trees

One of the central teachings of this class is the Dark Night of the Soil.

When a seed is planted, it disappears beneath the surface.

From above, it looks as though nothing is happening.

But beneath the soil, the seed breaks open. Roots establish themselves. An entirely new structure begins to emerge.

Human transformation can follow a similar symbolic pattern.

The hidden phase isn't necessarily the absence of growth.
It may be where growth begins.

Through the symbolism of soil, the phoenix, and the chrysalis, we explore what must be released and what can take root next.

From Understanding to Embodiment

Transformation isn't only something we understand. It's something we begin to embody.

Guided Breathwork with Lisa M. Saar

The original workshop included a guided breathwork experience facilitated by Lisa M. Saar.

Her session explores the connection between breathing, the nervous system, self-awareness, and embodied transformation.

Lisa's recorded breathwork experience is included in the digital class.

Planting the Phoenix

The Planting the Phoenix soil ritual invites you to reflect on what has been released, what is ready to change, and what you're choosing to cultivate.

Combined with the workbook prompts, the ritual helps bring intention into symbolic action.
