open circle is a great practice space for community members who are between programs, or simply looking for a space to practice in a group. we work with the core soyala practices and theories to offer you twice monthly support, guidance, and reminders. 

open circle is a welcoming community space, bring your friends, family and loved ones as an easy way to invite them into practical spiritual perspectives that can be used right away to bring greater ease and presence into your day to day life. 

  • "It happened so gently and naturally I almost didn’t realize I was changing so significantly. I have met myself in a way that gives me hope and put me in contact with a love that was always there."

    Nell

  • "This is the opportunity of a lifetime to be gently opened into a new way of understanding yourself, your life and developing new tools to help you evolve in any area you focus on."

    Katelynne

  • "Soyala feels like I can lay down whatever armor or identities I may be putting up and just show up and be. Messy, joyful, grieving, foggy, imperfect, whatever. All of me feels welcome."

    Katie

  • "The portal will actually, literally change your life. I’ve learned so much about myself and I’ve learned all the right tools and practices at just the time I needed them."
