    Come. Let us journey together into our own authentic Life force: the essential living energy that permeates all of our lives.

    Your journey will begin at the center: with the divine / life force, or soul force.

    Robert Gonzales shares how this fundamental life energy is the tender expression of your inner being, or soul. It unfolds through the heart as your deepest longings, which manifest themselves in all forms of human needs and values. When you live from the energies of compassion, creativity, love, and clarity – while remaining wholly grounded and aware of needs and values – then you are living your passion… You are living the Self-In-Life.

He emphasizes compassionate advocacy of all humanity amid the ongoing crisis.
