Consider the possibility that some habits, choices, or strong reactions might have roots beyond this lifetime. This two hour exploratory workshop looks at past life vows, understood as deeply held agreements, and how they may still shape day to day experiences in subtle and often unconscious ways. Participants explore common themes such as service, sacrifice, loyalty, silence, poverty, obedience, and visibility, then identify where similar patterns may be active now. The aim is not to prove or disprove past lives, but to use the concept as a practical lens for self-awareness so hidden influences can be recognized and more intentional decisions can be made. The session is reflective and grounded, and includes take home materials to support continued integration afterward. Please bring a journal, a pen, and water. Attendance is limited to 8 people. Cost is $49. Facilitated by Carole Franques, a holistic and integrative wellness practitioner and creatrix of The Body of Wisdom Oracles.
