The 28-Day Program
Mary with Denise Linn
Internationally-published author, teacher and healer Denise Linn created the 28-Day Program Soul Coaching® based on her book of the same name. The premise is that we all have the answers to our heart's greatest questions within us already, we just need to clear the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical clutter in our lives to hear the answers.
Soul Coaching® helps connect you with your spirit, to find that voice within that may have been buried by conditioned beliefs about who you are or are "supposed" to be. What is your purpose? What gives you meaning? What gives you joy? How can you connect to the sacred in everyday life? These are questions you will explore during Soul Coaching.
In a small group setting, Certified Soul Coach® Mary Dixon welcomes you to her small lavender farm where you'll meet in the tranquility of her own home-based art gallery, Third Eye Gallery. In this lovely and creative space you are guided through a professionally presented process to help quiet and clear the mind and help you get in touch with your spirit, the "real you".
Over the course of 6 sessions you will:
- Connect with the energy of the four elements, air, water, fire and earth to help clear mental, emotional, spiritual and physical clutter;
- Experience Soul Journeys, guided meditations that help get you in touch with the messages from your soul and to feel the bright and loving spirit that lies within;
- Assess where you are now and what you'd like to commit to changing in your life;
- Learn what "zaps" your energy and what "juices" it!
- Cultivate an "attitude of gratitude" and let go of thinking like a victim;
- Acknowledge your fears, say "Yes!" to life, and fan the flames of your creativity;
- Connect with nature and with your body;
- Create sacred space and envision a fabulous future!
After an intro meeting, sessions will include time to "check-in" with each of you and time to work on some fun creative projects that will focus you on what you want your life to be about, like making a spirit stick and a vision map (materials provided). The core of the process is done during a four-week period.
The final session will follow our personal "mini" vision quests adapated to your time and ability, (don't worry, you don't have to go walk about in the wilderness for three days...unless of course you want to!) with a review of that process and a little celebration, possibly a potluck.
Class length is 2 1/2 hours per session and there are daily assignments you do at home, from clutter-clearing a room or even just a drawer, to answering questions about your values, your fears, what saps your energy and what you are grateful for, among other things. A copy of the book Soul Coaching® is included in the course fee so you have a complete reference guide that is yours to keep and certain other materials and goodies will be provided as well.

How will I have time for all that?
Not to worry! First of all, Denise Linn has designed the course with three levels of participation, and each day you do what you can:
- Level 1 "Committed to Change!", requiring 15-30 minutes a day or less.
- Level 2 "Going For It!", includes the Level 1 exercises and a bit more and can take 30-60 minutes.
- Level 3 "Playing Full Out!", includes the Level 1 & 2 exercises and the extra takes as long as it takes.
We all have busy lives, some days more hectic than others, but even reading the assignments and bringing these ideas into your awareness can be enough to start things shifting and work to create change beneath the surface. You are responsible for all your experiences, so whether you do only Level 1 on some days and can find time for Levels 2 or 3 on other days, once you make the inner commitment and join the class you will nevertheless sense that changes are occurring. Postponing certain tasks that you wish to do Full Out until a less busy day is perfectly okay!The program seems to work in miraculous ways, even when you have to skip some things it seems the Universe sets change in motion!
FAQ's
Why a Group for the 28 day process...can't I just read the book myself?
The benefits of a group process are many, not the least of which is the new friendships that can be built going through such an experience together. Doing transformative work in a group gives you support and encouragement and a little "kick in the butt" if necessary to keep you focused on what you hope to achieve. Sharing experiences offers inspiration and motivation as well as fostering compassion for yourself and others as you share both your successes and your challenges. And there is a certain dynamic energy that can occur in a group that makes it more than the sum of the individuals. And it can be fun!
What's the difference between Soul Coaching® , Life Coaching and Therapy?
Unlike Life Coaching which is usually geared toward the attainment of a specific goal and is often an action-oriented tool to prompt you to take specific steps in a direction, and unlike various therapies which are aimed at healing emotional wounds from your past, Soul Coaching® is more about the spiritual side of your life, trying to answer some of the bigger questions about "What is my purpose?" "What do I really long to do but am afraid to admit?" "Who am I really?" and in the process learn to love and celebrate the beautiful being that you are and create a vision of your ideal future. That said, it can indeed be very motivational, inspirational and healing!
