Soul Sanctuary Seminars

Participants have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of their purpose and place in the world and glimpse into the universe of their own souls.

These seminars encourage participants to explore their own life story and journey through hands-on exercises and personal reflection. Attendees will be offered dynamic guided discussions, using multi-media presentations and experiential exercises.

Vivian is a well-loved guide and presenter whose practical ideas, wealth of experience and ability to dramatize her topic make her presentations both valuable and enjoyable.

As Vivian served as an associate minister for 4 years, she discovered a broad interest in her group study presentations, retreats and facilitated encounters on spirituality and the arts.

What People are Saying

Individual Clients
I had the privilege of Vivian’s counsel for three years. In that time I learned courage and came to understand the power of love to heal and to redeem. Vivian taught me some practical relational tools and changed the way I saw my life. I am no longer afraid. Attending the retreat with Vivian was a privilege; there, I learned to look slowly and deeply at life and therein found the divine, I learned a powerful truth: that the world is drenched in beauty and every being in it is of inestimable value. I learned to love recklessly and without fear. Vivian, I can never thank you enough for the beautiful change in our family.
