Jillian Harrington, Saturday, February 21, 2:30-5PM, Sliding Scale: $25-$45

Are you curious about who you are at a soul level—and why certain patterns keep showing up in your life? In this interactive 2.5-hour workshop, you’ll explore two powerful lenses for understanding yourself: your soul age (from infant soul to old soul) and your soul archetype (such as Nurturer, Artist, Leader, Sage, Guide, and others). Through guided exercises, self-assessments, and conversation, you’ll actively uncover your unique soul “personality” and how it influences your relationships, work, challenges, and growth. This is not a lecture—you’ll be discovering your blueprint from the inside out. You'll leave with a clearer sense of your soul's story, why you are the way you are, and how your soul age and archetype influence your life today—plus a workbook to deepen your understanding long after the workshop ends.
