Yes, it is indeed possible to attune to one’s soul—and there are many paths to do so, as this empowering workshop demonstrates. Aviv Shahar’s loom practice invites participants to build their own “discovery looms” of inquiries, thoughts, and feelings, fostering soul integration during times of change. The workshop then introduces two modes of learning:
- Horizontal learning—the process of expansion by adding new information.
- Vertical learning—an elevation of perspective that transforms what we already know and, through depth activation, releases latent codings to awaken fresh awareness and appreciation.
By workshopping the looms created by participants, the group enters a vibrant exchange, revealing each person as a symphonic arrangement of inner voices — some anchored in the mind, others resonating from the soul. When we ask, “What must we overcome to attune to our soul?” we discover shared hurdles: self‑doubt, conditioned dependence on external validation, perception shutdown, and various forms of trauma.
Throughout this experiential journey, open‑ended questions — inquiries beyond our current understanding illuminate the larger context: attuning to the soul as an essential response to the epochal change unfolding in our world.
Key exploration questions
- How do we learn to recognize the voice of our soul amid the many inner parts of our human orchestra?
- How can we encourage and honor each of those voices as integral to our humanity?
- In what ways can we integrate the soul into daily living, allowing it to emerge and navigate our processes?
- What distances us from our soul, and how might we overcome those barriers?
- How does understanding the soul’s energetic dimensions — and its relationship to human consciousness — situate this work within the broader story of epochal transformation?
This conversation is part of the continuing discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change. Information about upcoming special events can be found on the Events page. Also visit and subscribe to our YouTube channel.
A growing cross-section of humanity is waking up now to the realization that we need to lean into and reintegrate the conversation with a soul, to bring into the conversation the spiritual dimension of life, and to learn to attune to our soul such that we are able to access the intelligence we need to meet those difficult challenges.
