Soul Listening

Paul's hallmark talk is Soul Listening
In this talk, Paul introduces the need for an integrated or "Integral" approach to dreams, meditation  and creativity for spiritual guidance: healing the past, empowering the present and creating new directions. He presents the key role of meditation, dreams and harmony-with-nature for the evolution of consciousness in this millennium – for personal and social transformation, for wellness, longevity, ecology and spirituality.

Paul introduces the need for parents, grandparents and relatives, teachers, spiritual directors and counselors to become dream and meditation mentors of children, for children hold emerging inner-visions of our future and that of the earth consciousness. He hopes this talk becomes an inspiration and guide for parents and elders in expanding their awareness and mastery of the inner life and dreaming, so they can teach and lead the children in dreaming and visioning the future. Thus, our children will lead with wisdom earth’s future in their elder years, while mentoring the next generation. Paul gives twenty-minutes at the end for questions and answers.

Shamana: Heart & Soul Meditation Programs and Retreats
