There comes a moment—or a season—when the light leaves. When nothing makes sense anymore, and the old ways of coping no longer hold. The stories we told ourselves unravel, and we’re left staring into the raw dark.
This is the dark night of the soul. Not a punishment, but an initiation.
I created the free offering below for those exact sacred moments. In summer 2023, I was spiraling into another dark night. By this time, moving through a dark night of the soul initiation wasn’t new to me because I was in my “ten-year-long dark night spiral”, but that didn’t make it any less painful.
While I had some support from mentors and communities, I hadn’t yet found anything that really held me in the darkness that I felt. So… I created a holding for myself. A divine offering for my own heart to keep me alive and moving forward. Now, I share it with you.
The dark night of the soul isn’t special. It’s an initiation we all must go through at various times in our lives. The key is to learn how to navigate them with deep holding and compassion for your wounded parts as they grieve and heal.
In this collection, you’ll find a guided meditation, a soul journey, and an inquiry guide—all designed to help you alchemize pain into power, grief into gold, endings into holy beginnings. These are not quick fixes. They are soul tools for navigating transformation with reverence.
You are not broken. You are becoming.
And this descent, while terrifying, is sacred.
Follow the four steps below, in any order you’d like. Repeat them as often as you need to. Please send me a message if you have any questions as you move through your soul survival guide journey.🌹
Step 1: Listen to the Alchemizing Darkness Meditation
A guided journey into the womb of Mother Earth where pain, grief, and shadow are not avoided, but embraced. Held in the arms of the Divine Feminine and supported by the healing presence of the Blue Beings, you are gently invited to spiral downward into your deepest emotions, allowing them to rise and be witnessed in full. Through elemental alchemy—earth, water, flame—you shed old layers, activate your inner light, and emerge renewed.
Step 2: Listen to the Into The Depths Soul Journey
A soul journey of conscious descent—an inner pilgrimage beyond the layers of identity, story, and attachment into the sacred stillness of your Soul. Guided by elemental beings and spiritual guardians through the seven gates, surrendering what no longer serves you and entering the void, you are met by Sophia.
This journey is both a shedding and a rebirth, helping you return with clarity, deeper self-love, and reverence for the healing power of your own darkness.
