About the Group
Spiritual and energy principles and techniques are becoming more mainstream, and more people are eager to learn and explore these concepts in ways that they can integrate with their current belief systems and practices. This group will meet weekly for a series of five 90 minute sessions. Sessions will reflect these themes:
We are essentially spiritual beings having an earthly experience;
We are energetic beings manifesting unconsciously and (increasingly) consciously in the physical form;
We are here to transmute our soul’s karma, our bloodlines generational trauma, and our personality patterns into more love based transmissions;
And,
We are powerful manifestors, able to create inner and outer peace and harmonious relationships with all beings sharing this precious planet.
Sessions will include leader-facilitated exploration of these ideas with opportunities for individuals to share and reflect on their beliefs, experiences and hopes. Group activities will include meditations and basic practices of energy/spiritual principles. Light reading or the viewing of short videos will likely be encouraged between sessions.
Together, we will create a safe and inviting space to explore these beliefs with like-minded souls. As such, this is not a group for skeptics. If you are just beginning to explore these concepts and have healthy skepticism, please reach out to the group leader for possible inclusion in a future group with this theme.
Upon inquiry for this group, the facilitator may hold a brief conversation with prospective participants to be sure that this is a good fit.
Testimonials:
“When I joined this group, I was excited, but I didn’t know what to expect. The first meeting was incredible, and each meeting after that was better than the one before it. At the last session, we unanimously agreed it was an invaluable experience. I was familiar with some of the practices and doing them in a group amplified everything, and allowed us to go deeper. Other practices were new to me and I have incorporated many of them into my own spiritual growth and meditation routine. This group was a safe, warm, validating community of amazing women filled with positive energy. We helped each other grow and we each grew in the process. Lisa brings a lifetime of knowledge and facilitated in a way where we got the benefit of her experience, with the ability to co-create our meetings as well. We all agreed the only downside was not enough time. I cannot recommend this group enough!" -S.M.
“I had the profound privilege of taking a spiritual awakening class led by Lisa Catania and it has truly been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The class was a beautiful journey of self-discovery, connection, and inner peace, leaving me with a renewed sense of clarity and even a greater appreciation for life. Without revealing too much and taking away the magic of discovery, we explored a wide range of practices that helped us connect more deeply to ourselves, others, and the world around us. From learning various meditation techniques to participating in activities that harmonized the mind and heart, every session was enlightening and powerful. We shared unforgettable moments of connection and collective energy that opened my eyes to new perspectives and possibilities. Lisa created an environment that was both nurturing and empowering, making it easy for everyone in our group to grow in their unique way. I cannot recommend this class enough to anyone seeking personal growth, spiritual connection, or just a deeper understanding of themselves and their journey. Thank you Lisa!✨” -C.G.
“I highly recommend this group for anyone looking to explore their spirituality and connect with a likeminded community. Lisa helped guide me to tap deeper into my own gifts while providing essential tools to enhance my spiritual journey. Her warm, compassionate energy creates a loving space where time seems to stand still to clear a path for spiritual growth. Every week is a new opportunity to discover your own magic through various practices, including smudging, meditation, breathing techniques, and reflection within a safe community. I’m so grateful for this amazing experience and strongly encourage others to take this journey!” -K.D.
