"Is there an angel inside waiting to be unleashed?"

Are you called to reveal Something Beautiful, Glorious, Deep, and Whole? 

 

The Art of Ensoulment: A Playbook on How to Create From Body and Soul is a guidebook that helps you manifest and restore the Dance of Life.

If you navigate religious, medical, academic, political, or any space that feels void of body and soul, you may be like me. I agonize, suffer, overdo, drop out, feel out of step with others, and struggle to know what to do. 

While cofounding InterPlay, I saw the genius that is just waiting to reemerge from both rambunctious and shy people who engage their creative birthrights of movement, voice, story, and stillness. I saw wisdom and resilience grow—mine, too! 

 

Witnessing dance, art, and ritual in action around the globe, I knew what I saw in dance studios was no fluke. Creative ritual practice is ancestral stuff. Angels fly. Souls shine. Health grows when body and soul come out and play in community.

 

Thankfully, the wisdom of body and soul is on the rise. As a leader of movement and a movement leader, I’ve navigated twelve artful initiations that restore Nurturing, Instinctual, Playful, Empathetic, and Sovereign Souls. These strategies differ from western training yet resonate with wisdom teachings in many traditions. 

 

If you are curious, get the playbook. Playing with others makes all the difference. Although I am not coaching individuals at this time, I support certified companions representing different age groups, disciplines, and lineages. To find them…

Art of Ensoulment Coaches Abound Across Disciplines, Lineages, and Art Forms. They offer group and individual practices. 

The Three directives

“These are your three directives:
efficiency of energy, clarity of vision,
and courage to love.”

You know your life is your art and your offering, but perhaps, like me, you’ve struggled with energy, direction, and how to be loving in complicated relationships. As a dancer, artist, and spiritual leader searching high and low for ways to navigate life, one day I heard a voice. It said, “These are your three directives–efficiency of energy, clarity of vision and courage to love.” Slowly, I uncovered practices that I wish everyone had in their tool kit. I currently share them in a once a year weekly class. The tools aren’t hard. In fact play is the secret sauce of everything, if we only remember to do it! 

If you are a coach, therapist, parent, spiritual director, teacher, artist or a person others seek out,  the Hidden Monastery hosts a circle of practionners who know what its like. If you are looking for companions who embrace humanity across lineages and think that being human is what we are supposed to be,  Art of Ensoulment Coaches share

🔸Techniques that help us detach from heavy group/cultural dynamics (so important for empaths!)
🔸A forgotten practice that helps us regulate our nervous system.
🔸 A key to unlock our tendency to control.
🔹 Why *ease* is essential for both body and spirit.
🔹 A kind of“credentialing” that has little to do with degrees or letters after your name.
🔹 Joyful ways to honor your spirit team–and where to find them.

🔹 AND SO MUCH MORE….

What

They

Say

“Ensoulment helped me transition through board exams, and starting a medical practice. During sessions, I feel met and heard and am able to access and express usually inaccessible states. This helps me be more creative, motivated, and ultimately live a more joyous life, to show up fully for myself, and my patients and students. Snippets of ensoulment tools arise when needed in life and clinical practice, particularly in times of challenge, as gems of beauty that help anchor me into my greatest self, and the Great Mystery of the Universe. Deep gratitude!”
Jiling LinLicensed Acupuncturist , L.Ac.
“Life often feels like too much for my sensitive body, but this year was exceptionally challenging. I’ve often felt trampled, fragmented and compromised just by being in the world. The effects of this in my energetic field and in my physical body left me depleted. I’m incredibly grateful to have connected with Cynthia and the journey of ensoulment last January. It gently carried me through the trials I faced.

Each month gifted me with a deeper way of dancing with life’s initiations. It gave me ways to experience these life shifts as gateways. I moved through each gateway with profound appreciation and awe, transformed by the experience rather than trampled by it. Cynthia’s guidance about how to navigate life in a sensitive body and to playfully release and dance has been life-saving. This is a course one can encounter, again and again, going deeper each time. The richness of this course can’t be overstated, I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to take the journey of ensoulment. "

“Cynthia, with all her teachings, is like a field with an immense amount of buried treasures to mine. She comes along beside you in the most unintrusive way and helps you dig….but it always with your own shovel. She mixes an immense space of incredible safety and ease…..she is at the same time just so silly (I giggle a lot and it breaks up all the tension in my body) and just so profound. Introduced are a plethora of spiritual practices one gets to be with at their own pace. Community is built with a breath. I am going to join her again for the next ensoulment group and I know I will be able to deepen all that I have learned. Thank you, Cynthia."
Emily KatzenbachPsychotherapist & Palliative Chaplain
“Cynthia’s presence and Art of Ensoulment Course have been such a meaningful gift in my life. It came right on time with all the unexpected twists and turns of 2020, allowing me to connect with messages in my body that informed actions centered on love for myself and others. As a sensitive person, mother, and therapist, I learned how to balance better and know myself better giving me greater confidence and acceptance for what is. The opportunity to meet individually has been a magical mix to support in my liberation journey. Cynthia as a teacher is gifted at supporting people to have their own experiences leading to surprises only the individual can uncover. I am whole heartily grateful for my connection with Cynthia and the teachings that supported my development in the Course’s inspired contemplations that led me to greater peace within. I highly recommend the Art of Ensoulment Course.”

Cynthia gifted me the understanding of being highly sensitive, that my dancing days aren’t over, and helped me remember that play and imagination are part of the keys to my soul! Paula Cunningham

    Thank you, thank you Cynthia for your teaching and being. Since I just completed your course I wanted to write something about my experience for others that may be curious….Cynthia’s presence and Art of Ensoulment Course has been such a meaningful gift in my life. I didn’t know what to expect at first it was right on time with all the unexpected twists and turns of 2020. It has allowed me to connect with messages in my body that informed actions centered on love for myself and others. As a sensitive person, mother, and therapist, I learned how to balance better. The course has inspired contemplations leading to greater peace within. I know myself better and have greater confidence and acceptance for what is. Cynthia resonates her joy in teaching as she shares generously with a genuinely kind and welcoming nature. She has always been respectful, honoring the value that everyone brings. Her teaching style included readings with suggested practices to experiment with, group connection where everyone had space to be seen and heard, time for listening, praying, playing, moving, being still. In addition, the opportunity to meet individually has been a magical mix to support in my liberation journey. Without knowing exactly what others will get out of the Art of Ensoulment Course for the first time or repeating, I know it will be pleasing to the soul. Cynthia as a teacher is gifted at supporting people to have their own experiences leading to surprises only the individual can uncover. I am whole heartily grateful for my connection with Cynthia and the teachings that supported my development in the Art of Ensoulment Course. I highly recommend you give the Art of Ensoulment Course a try for yourself or at least contact Cynthia if you’re curious.
