What Our Graduates Say

SoulPages Facilitator Training

What our graduates say

In their own voices, recorded in our closing circle

Every cohort of the training closes the same way. We gather one last time, and each woman says what these six months were for her. Nothing below was written by me. These are their own words, as they said them.

Watch them tell it

Short clips from the closing circle of Cohort 5, and from our open evening


Judi Harris

On not being an artist

I don’t consider myself necessarily to be an artist, at least in the conventional ways. And this experience really helped me to rediscover. She was in there. I didn’t realize that the artist was in there. And what is so powerful about this is that we were making art not just with our hands, but with our hearts and in community.

Michelle

On what it changed

Something tells me that what we have here, what you have created and fostered, this is how we grow the light. Maybe our art, through this light, maybe this is how we create peace. I’m in a very emotional space, so forgive me, but really, this is extraordinary. It’s definitely a life change, that I hope to keep unpacking for all of my days.

Tal Somech

On what she was given

Rakefet, you are so kind and generous. It’s just amazing how much information and support you shared with us. I’m so thankful for this generosity. And I feel it’s like a seed that has so much in it, and it’s ready to explode for how much I got from this.

Jamie Leat

On showing up as you are

I’ve really appreciated the space that you create, Rakefet. It really is a special space, in that you can just bring yourself, the good, the bad, the ugly, and just show up and do the work. And the interesting thing is, I was blessed every time I was able to show up and take that with me.

Claudia

On the method itself

Rakefet, you have created something amazing. Your method, your generosity, your ideas, the gift that you have brought to all of us is so meaningful. For me personally, but also for everybody who comes into contact with this.

Melissa Dilworth

On not making every live session

I was watching the videos and participated live sometimes, and that was still so fabulous. I felt really connected, just like everyone else who was attending live.

She was in there. I didn’t realize that the artist was in there.

JUDI HARRIS, COHORT 5

Would you like to be in the next circle?

Six months of learning the SoulPages method from the inside, first on your own pages and then as something you can hold for other women. Every woman above arrived without being sure she belonged there.
