Soul Study is an online women's community focused on self-discovery. We are more than just a FB and IG page- we are an actual community that meets weekly- yes weekly! Soul Study has weekly sessions that focus on a specific topic related to self-development or spiritual-development. Sessions are facilitated by Life Coach, Stephanie Swail, and other special guests are also brought on. The intention behind Soul Study is to bring women together from all over the world who are on the journey of healing & deepening their connection with themselves. This is for women who are committed to self-development and wanting to learn more about themselves and meet other like-hearted women on a similar journey. What are the sessions like? The sessions take place online via Zoom. We usually have one session during the week (evening) and some on weekends. The sessions have anywhere between 5-15 women depending on the week. We always have some new faces and our Soul Study regulars. Each week we dive into a certain topic related to self-development. Past topics have been: boundaries, self-doubt, forgiveness, vulnerability, self-compassion, etc. Here is the breakdown:
Grounding meditation
Intro and Topic Lesson
Small group exercises
Journal exercise (personal exercise)
Partner (1:1) exercise
Group debriefing
Soul Study is also a great alternative for those who can't necessarily afford to work with a coach or therapist but still want to do the work! Also, for those in therapy or who work with a coach, this is a great addition to the work you are already doing!
2. How long are the sessions? Our regular Soul Study sessions run about 90 min in length- the time flies by fast, believe us! Our special edition sessions are usually about 2 hours in length and we bring on a special guest.
3. Who facilitates Soul Study? The main facilitator is Stephanie Swail. Stephanie Swail is a Life Coach with a focus in Relationships & Personal Transformation. She is also Gottman Certified and has a background in Psychology. She has worked with women from all over the globe and created Soul Study back in 2020, as she saw a need for an intentional community focused on self-discovery and empowerment. The journey of this life is a lot easier when we are connected to one another. Soul Study also brings on other special guests, such as yoga instructors, energy healers, psychologists, coaches, holistic nutritionists you name it!
4. What is the age group? We are extremely inclusive of all ages (over 18+), however, I would say the majority of women who join are around 25-40. We welcome anyone, no matter the age!
5. Do I have to talk and share? You don't have to do what you don't feel comfortable with! If you want to just sit and watch, that is okay. There are some partner exercises, however, if you don't feel comfortable with that let me know and I can make arrangements.
6. Does everyone already know each other? Not exactly, we always have new faces and always welcome women to come join. Some women join one week and not the next. It is definitely a casual environment where you show up if you feel called to!
7. What if English is not my first language? WELL lucky for you there are so many women in this group from all over the world...Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil, Peru, Australia, UK, USA, Canada, and more! We are a global group of women, and we hold space for every single person no matter where they are from! A lot of the women who join have English as their second language.
8. What do I have to do to prepare for Soul Study? All you need to do is have a journal and a pen ready! We use Zoom so make sure you have a good internet connection and are in a quiet space.
