In SOR, you will learn about the evolutionary shifts in human consciousness, and how it impacts your daily life. You will find support by connecting to like-minded Souls around the world. You will feel supported, encouraged, empowered and provided tools in your awakening. SOR will bring you back into alignment with your Soul and more importantly with God. I am focused on bringing in more awareness around the power of God, Yeshua (not in a religious contact) and building tools and strength to stand in the spiritual warfare we find ourselves in today.
