Souljourner Leadership & Initiation Program

YEAR 1: ROOTS

October 2025 - March 2026

Roots of Leadership

The roots of leadership are in our ancestry, our souls, and the stories we carry about ourselves and the world around us. The tools, teachings, and experiences of this first year course are inspired by cross-cultural archetypes of the healer, teacher, visionary, and leader as researched by Angeles Arrien.

In this course we’ll explore spiritual practices, immersing ourselves in meditations, prayer, poetry, and song. Together, we’ll journey into a landscape of intuitive development, healing practices, ancestral and power animal connections, and character qualities of effective leadership.

Leadership begins at home and in the heart. This is a course for those looking to deepen their leadership skills in both personal and professional arenas, and is a prerequisite for Branches of Leadership (second year circle).

Program Curriculum: 

  • In-depth study of the Four-Fold Way by Angeles Arrien

  • A journey through the tarot and symbology

  • Researching qualities of effective leadership
