“True Wisdom begins when you look back to realize that every negative thing that happened to you, every negative person that you’ve met, and every negative choice that you’ve ever made, can now perfectly propel you into a truly new life because you’re finally learning the most uncommon lessons from it all. Welcome to Soul’s Peace”.

The Circles of Ingenious Wholeness:
A Program for Creative Growth and Healing
In the Circles of Ingenious Wholeness, participants engage in writing and creating simple yet symbolic projects that hold lasting personal significance. These projects gradually increase in complexity and depth throughout the course, allowing individuals to cultivate their own creative and writing skills to better navigate future challenges.
The program, led by Survivor and Accredited Mentor Christine Merriman, primarily consists of video guidance with one monthly live meeting to delve into personal struggles, healing opportunities, and avenues for growth. Participants are also paired up in a buddy system for mutual support and communication while they work outside of formal sessions.
Activities within the Circles include theatrical workshops where members collaboratively craft scripts to explore different perspectives and coping mechanisms. Other creative pursuits such as filmmaking, haiku writing, poetry, and song lyrics are also encouraged to stimulate unconventional forms of expression.
Flexibility is key in the Circles, as individuals can work on assignments at their own pace without strict deadlines. Yet, emphasis is placed on following the monthly themes and initial instructions before delving into personal creative projects. The ultimate aim is for participants to be able to experience the satisfaction of their own creative endeavors and then to witness their own personal growth and self-discovery for the rest of their entire life.
Because life will throw you her curve balls until the very day you die!
I just want to watch you flourish with new found skills, real confidence, unique achievements, and entirely new possibilities!”

The Circles of Ingenious Wholeness will begin in October, ‘24!

This workbook can change not only your emotional attitude, but your entire attitude about your future life!
Aren't YOU ready for an emotional climate transformation?
"In depth and useful for people after trauma. This book offers a fascinating psychological exploration of emotions, guiding readers through a deeply introspective process that helps understand and articulate the positive lessons each emotion brings. Each section meticulously dissects an emotion, enabling the reader to trace its origins and understand its impact. This introspection prompts asking the right questions, leading to potential breakthroughs in personal growth. Particularly enlightening is the section on suicide, which is approached thoughtfully, discussing it as a desire to escape from overwhelming situations rather than from life itself. This book serves as an introduction to a lifelong practice of using these emotional insights to better navigate life's challenges, past, present, and future. It's a compelling tool for anyone serious about harnessing their emotional experiences for enduring personal development."

I hope you know I truly appreciate you and I feel like you understand me already,
that has been very rare for me.
God knows the prayers I have been pleading to Him
and then all of a sudden He sends me a trauma specialist… wow, just what I prayed for.
I love you, Christine, you have a beautiful heart.
This is the reason I prayed for someone who knows trauma and gets me.
