How will you navigate the year ahead? Who is on your spirit team? Will you be truly seen and credentialed for who you are, wise in body and soul?
Don’t try to change the world. Dance the world. Come round’ right! True body and soul to Earth’s Spirit as our ancestors did. Sing. Rest. Make offerings to the Great Dance and let it dance you. GuideDANCE is there. As Teilhard de Chardin said, “We only have to go a little beyond the frontier of sensible appearances in order to see the divine.”
I market my course only for a short window. I’ll soon be onto my 2025 writing projects, including an illustrated book called The Great Dance I’ll create with Ruth Showalter and Marla Durden and I’ll be writing for paid subscribers on how I came to my vow “I Take My Whiteness Upon Myself as a Condition of My Liberation.”
Now, at this moment, I am seeking wise, playful, sensitive people who are looking for a new way that rises from the Dancing Center.
We will illuminate the path, amplify communion with inner and outer worlds, and connect the way trees, molecules, and waves do. We will step through love’s portal onto a divine playground rich with resources and honest people. No solemn oath is needed other than to honor each living being in the Dance of Life.
Start with The Welcome Retreat: “Tend Body and Soul.” We’ll meet to play, restore ourselves, and explore the Hidden Monastery, Dance Chapels, and Beloved Practices in the Art of Ensoulment Courses. Jan 8th, 9:30-11:30 am Pacific. This is optional.
Register for The Four Beloved Practices Course- for anyone seeking wisdom and support to create from body and soul.
Four two-hour monthly workshops January-April.4th Wednesdays 9:30-11:30 PT Restore the dancing ground of 1) Your Ancestry and Spirit Team, 2) Your Creative Birthrights, 3) Your Belonging and Purpose, and 4) Your Dance with Suffering.
Choose a Creative Practicum: After each class, play and put what you learned into practice in four individual or group sessions with an Ensoulment Coach of your choice. Personalize the four beloved practices in your body, soul, and life. As Ruth Schowalter, Visionary Artist, and Educator, says, “To not only understand the concept of the Divine web of creation but to also dance that web, visualize it, draw it, and do it all over again has taught me how to access the depth of my own soulfulness. Learning methods to power my soul up and power my soul down is just part of this humble journey of seeking to restore my rightful relationship to the body. Cynthia's Ensoulment offerings have helped me live the spiritual Life I was seeking.”

Agreements and Considerations
What do I mean by credentialing? Institutional programs rarely witness and honor creative, mystical, and embodied healing services. As a result, few offer real community and partnership. Art of Ensoulment Credentialing is a gentle, playful way of reweaving our web of belonging.
I use the word coach lightly. It is not an obligation. It's not work. The language of coaching is a newer service strategy less laden with pictures, hoops, and beliefs. I use it to demythologize layers of belief so that our imaginations can move more directly to our experience.
No need to build a social presence to coach!Your Presence is enough.
No need to be a Playbook expert to coach.The wild beauty of your body and soul is enough. No need to take on the whole enchilada.
No need to teach like me. We need YOUR spirit team, creativity, and purpose. May the Four Beloved Practices of the Art of Ensoulment serve our diversity.
Why do I offer the course free after the first time through? Returnees nourish collective wisdom.
No need to spend big bucks.I financially respect
those recovering from the consequences of genocide
people under forty enduring out-of-control capitalism
those whose work is financially undervalued.
Tell me what you can afford. Email me at Cynthia Winton-Henryif you have questions.
I am blown away by what people are saying, but like so much of what I do, its hard to explain. I think this just means I am a wee bit ahead of the curve for some. As far as the ancestors- I think they are waiting for us all to catch up!
